Padres at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockies 6, Padres 4
Money line
Gomber has been very good in his career against the Padres and while he has not been super efficient in his recent starts, the Rockies have scored 5 or more runs in 8 of their last 12 home games.
Clevinger has a 10.50 ERA at Coors Field in 6 career innings.
Colorado remains better than .500 at home this season.
Take the ROCKIES (+115).

Run line/Against the spread
While the Rockies did not pick up the win Monday night, they did cover the spread. They are 7-7 ATS in their last 14 games and 24-21 ATS at home.
The Padres are 29-16 ATS on the road this season.
But since I like the Rockies to win outright, I would take the money line. If you aren’t as confident in an outright win, the run line is still worth some action. Take the ROCKIES +1.5 (-130).
Over/Under
Only 1 of the Padres’ last 12 games has had a total of 12 or more runs. Only 1 of Clevinger’s starts has had a total of 12 or more runs.
Ten of Gomber’s 16 starts have had totals of 11 or fewer runs.
The Padres have scored 4 or fewer runs in 10 of their last 12 games and 3 or fewer 8 times in that time.
Take UNDER 11.5 (-120).
