Run line/Against the spread
Ten of the Padres’ wins in their 11-4 run were by at least 2 runs. Twenty-nine of their 41 wins this season were by multiple runs.
The Rockies are only 17-19 ATS at home this season but are 11-9 ATS as home underdogs.
That said, unless you like the Rockies to win the game outright, the smartest and most valuable bet of the night is PADRES -1.5 (+122).
Over/Under
The series opener had 14 runs. It was the first time in 5 games between the two teams they combined for double-digit runs.
Three of the Padres’ last 4 games have had 12 or more runs but only 5 of their last 27 games have.
The Rockies have had 2 of their 4 home games finish with 12 or more runs but those are the only 2 games in their last 11 overall to do so.
Take UNDER 11.5 (-107).
