Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (40-70) and San Diego Padres (59-51) open a 3-game set at PETCO Park Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rockies lead 5-2

The Rockies won 2 of 3 games at the Los Angeles Angels. They wrapped up the series with a 5-4 victory in 10 innings as +108 underdogs Thursday with the Over (8.5) hitting. RF Jake Cave hit a game-tying 2-run HR in the 9th inning, and Colorado scored on a throwing error by Angels RHP Hans Crouse in the 10th.

The Padres are coming off a 2-game sweep of the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. After taking the Tuesday opener 6-5 as +118 underdogs, they won 8-1 as -134 favorites Wednesday as the Over (7) cashed. RHP Dylan Cease allowed 1 ER on 3 hits and 3 walks with 6 K’s in 5 2/3 IP in his 1st start since his no-hitter at the Washington Nationals July 25.

The Rockies have won the last 4 meetings against San Diego.

Rockies at Padres projected starters

LHP Austin Gomber vs. RHP Randy Vásquez

Gomber (2-7, 4.79 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 through 109 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 5-4 setback at San Francisco Giants Sunday

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Padres (-185) are 9-1 in their last 10 games overall, and it’s unlikely that they’ll lose a 5th straight meeting to Colorado. However, it’s hard to stay profitable long term in MLB betting into lines with this much vig.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

When the Rockies lose, they tend to get blown out. Five of Colorado’s last 6 losses have been by 3 or more runs, and the Rockies are just 26-31 as run-line underdogs this season, the 3rd-worst mark in MLB.

Gomber has allowed just 1 ER in 11 IP against the Padres this season, but that type of production won’t likely continue. The market is projecting that San Diego will score 4 or more runs, as Gomber has given up 4-plus ER in 7 of his last 9 starts.

Gomber probably won’t even pitch a full 6 innings, leading the way for the Padres to pile on against the worst bullpen in MLB (30th with a 5.53 ERA according to FanGraphs.com).

BET PADRES -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 4 straight meetings between these teams. Gomber has allowed an average of 4.1 runs per game in his last 9 starts, with the Over going 7-2 in those contests. Gomber has been lucky to post such impressive stats against the Padres this season, but that luck should run out Friday, helping the Over hit in the process.

BET OVER 8 (-120).

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Colorado Rockies (2-0) and the San Diego Padres (0-2) play the 3rd contest in a 4-game series Saturday. First pitch at Petco Park is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rockies lead series 2-0

The Rockies have gotten off to an unexpected start, outscoring the Padres by an 11-3 score in the first 2 games of the season. Colorado’s Charlie Blackmon hit a homer, while collecting 2 hits and 2 RBIs in Friday’s 4-1 victory.

The Padres managed just 5 hits in Friday’s loss, and they had 7 hits in Thursday’s opener. Losing a pair of games to the lowly Rockies to start the season is not exactly what San Diego fans and bettors were thinking with this star-studded lineup.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Padres projected starters

RHP Jose Urena vs. RHP Michael Wacha

Urena (3-8, 5.01 ERA) made 17 starts in 2022 with 4 relief appearances. He had a 1.57 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 6.0 K/9 in 97 IP with the Milwaukee Brewers and Rockies.

  • Posted a 1-3 record, 4.08 ERA and .271 opponent batting average (OBA) with 32 K across 53 IP in 9 road starts and 2 relief appearances
  • Was 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA and .278 OBA while striking out 4 batters with 6 walks allowed in 10 IP in 2 starts vs. SD in 2022

Wacha (11-2, 3.32 ERA) made 23 starts in 2022 with Boston Red Sox. He had a 1.12 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 in 127 1/3 IP.

  • Posted a 10-1 record, 3.38 ERA and 84 K with a .233 OBA in 19 night starts in 2022 with the Red Sox
  • Wacha will be playing for his 5th MLB team in the past 5 seasons when he takes the mound

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Padres (-225) will cost you over 2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward, especially when backing a team with an offense that has cobbled together just 3 total runs through the first 2 games.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The PADRES -1.5 (-110) come with a little risk, but this is a better value since you do not need to risk as much.

San Diego turns to the offseason-addition Wacha to halt the losing streak, and he suffered just 2 losses all season as a member of a mediocre Red Sox team last season. Expect San Diego to get the bounce back.

Over/Under

The San Diego offense has to break out the lumber eventually, right? Despite the Under result Friday, the Over is still 5-2 in the past 7 meetings in this series, and 4-1 in the past 5 meetings at Petco Park.

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-105), but go lightly, with a half-unit play at most.

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Colorado Rockies (1-0) play the San Diego Padres (0-1) on Friday in the 2nd game of a 4-game series at Petco Park. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rockies lead 1-0

The Rockies cruised to a 7-2 win over the Padres on Thursday with RHP German Marquez registering 5 K and 2 ER in 6 IP. 1B C.J. Cron was impressive as he went 4-5 with 2 HR and 5 RBI on Opening Day.

LHP Blake Snell was tagged with the loss on Thursday as he fanned 9 batters while allowing 3 ER in 4 1/3 IP. SS Xander Bogaerts tallied 3 hits in his debut for the Padres.

Rockies at Padres projected starters

LHP Kyle Freeland vs. RHP Nick Martinez

Freeland was 9-11 in 31 starts last season with a 4.53 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9, and 6.8 K/9 in 174 2/3 IP.

  • Has posted an ERA of 4.10 or worse in 5 of his 1st 6 MLB seasons
  • Has surrendered 1 HR per 9 IP in 5 of his 1st 6 seasons

Martinez was 4-4 in 10 starts in 2022 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9, and 8 K/9 in 106 1/3 IP.

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 5

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with the Padres being heavy favorites on Friday, taking them straight up at the current odds (-190) isn’t advised.

Run line/Against the spread

ROCKIES +1.5 (-130) is how I’d bet on the spread with both teams having mediocre pitchers on the mound. Colorado’s lineup showed signs of life on Opening Day and it can keep this game close enough to cover the spread.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (-120).

Freeland has struggled throughout the majority of his career and Martinez has been inconsistent since joining the starting rotation of the Padres. There have been 8-plus runs scored in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these teams.

The Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings when San Diego is the home team.

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres meet Thursday for Opening Day. First pitch from Petco Park is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting of 2023. Padres won the season series 10-9 in 2022.

Colorado is expected to have another “rockie” season in 2023 that won’t be made any easier playing in the same division as the free-spending Los Angeles Dodgers, the new-look and high-priced Padres and the San Francisco Giants. The Rockies are likely to be battling the Arizona Diamondbacks to avoid the NL West cellar.

The Padres already potent lineup added free-agent SS Xander Bogaerts to the mix, joining big boppers OF Juan Soto, 3B Manny Machado, 1B Jake Cronenworth and DH Matt Carpenter in a star-studded lineup. OF Fernando Tatis Jr. will also be in the mix soon once his suspension from last season is finished in late April.

Top to bottom, this is a ridiculous lineup, and the pitching isn’t too shabby, either. LHP Blake Snell takes the ball on Opening Day, and he is joined in the rotation by RHPs Yu Darvish, Nick Martinez and Michael Wacha, and Joe Musgrove (fractured toe), once he is healthy.

Rockies at Padres projected starters

RHP German Marquez vs. LHP Blake Snell

Marquez (9-13, 4.95 ERA in 2022) posted a 1.37 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 through 181 2/3 IP across 31 starts last season.

  • Went 7-7 with a 3.43 ERA and .204 opponent batting average (OBA) with 70 K over 94 1/3 IP in 15 road starts vs. 2-6 with a 6.70 ERA and .317 BAA across 87 1/3 IP in 16 home outings
  • Was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA with 2 HR allowed and 13 K across 12 IP in 2 starts vs. San Diego in 2022

Snell (8-10, 3.38 ERA in 2022) posted a 1.20 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 12.0 K/9 across 128 IP in 24 starts last season.

  • Was 1-4 with a 4.79 ERA and 47 K in 35 2/3 IP in 7 starts and 1 relief appearance in daytime games in 2022
  • Went 4-8 with a 3.56 ERA and .227 OBA with 108 K in 81 IP across 15 home outings in ’22
  • Posted a 1-1 record, 5.31 ERA and .250 OBA with 12 BB and 26 K across 20 1/3 IP in 4 starts vs. Colorado in 2022

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 2

Moneyline

The Padres (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a singular moneyline play — although it is acceptable to include in a multi-team parlay.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The PADRES -1.5 (+105) have the offense to pound almost any pitcher any day. Marquez posted some impressive numbers on the road last season, and he handled himself okay against the Padres, so go with a half-unit play at most Thursday. The Rockies were a thorn in the side of San Diego all season last year.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-105) is also worth playing lightly. The Over cashed in 4 of the final 5 meetings between these NL West combatants last season. In this Opening Day affair, we have a couple of pitchers who are good but not great and a powerful San Diego offense. We should see at least 8 total runs if not a few more.

The Colorado Rockies (46-61) wrap up their 5-game series on the road against the San Diego Padres (61-46) Thursday afternoon, hoping to salvage 1 game of the series. First pitch is 4:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Rockies lead 8-7

The Rockies have dropped 5 games in a row, including the first 4 games of this series in which they’ve been outscored by 20 runs. They have lost 12 of their last 15 games.

The Padres have won 5 games in a row and can tie the season series against the Rockies with a win Thursday. They won Wednesday 9-1 as OF Juan Soto made his Padres debut going 1-for-3 and new DH Brandon Drury hit a grand slam in his 1st at-bat for San Diego, which is 11-5 in its last 16 games.

Team Y at Team Z picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Rockies 4

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Rockies are reeling. Their 16-34 road record is the worst in baseball and they have lost 7 of their last 8 road games. They have been swept 4 times on the road this season.

The Padres are 6-1 in this homestand.

There isn’t enough juice at -300 to make this bet worth it, unless you want to include it as part of a parlay bet.

Run line/Against the spread

As bad as the Rockies are on the road overall, they are 24-26 ATS in road games this season, but they have failed to cover the spread in 4 of their last 5 games.

San Diego, though, is 19-34 ATS at home. They have lost Musgrove’s last 3 starts and 5 of his last 6 outings.

Because the Rockies are fading as the season progresses, I am not bold enough to go for the big payout and bet the Rockies on the money line, but going ROCKIES +1.5 (+105) still has plenty of juice.

Over/Under

The Rockies have been held to 3 or fewer runs 4 times in their last 5 games, but 11 of the 15 games between the 2 teams have had 8 or more runs.

Musgrove’s last 3 starts and 5 of Freeland’s last 6 have had 8 or more runs.

Take OVER 7.5 (-122).

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (46-60) take on the San Diego Padres (60-46) Wednesday in the 4th game of a 5-game set at Petco Park. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Rockies lead 8-6

The Rockies have lost 5 in a row and 6 of 7. The Rockies were pounded 13-5 in the 1st game of a doubleheader Tuesday and lost 3-2 in walkoff fashion in the nightcap. Colorado is 16-33 away from Coors Field and 21-21 against a left-handed pitcher, which they’ll face Wednesday.

The Padres have won 4 in a row, including the first 3 in this series. OF Trent Grisham hit a walkoff homer to give the Padres and newly acquired LHP Josh Hader his 1st win. The Friars made the biggest splash at the Tuesday trade deadline acquiring OF Juan Soto, 1B Josh Bell and 3B Brandon Drury. It’s unknown if any will arrive in time to suit up Wednesday.

Kuhl (6-6, 4.59 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.49 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 98 IP.

  • Doesn’t pitch as well on the road with a 5.03 ERA, 1.68 WHIP vs. 4.17 ERA, 1.31 WHIP at home

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Rockies 3

Money line

San Diego has a lot of moving parts right now that need to gel. Snell’s numbers at home are way higher than someone of his caliber should be at the spacious Petco. The law of averages says Colorado could steal this one. I’m not bullish enough on them to pick them outright, but let’s look to the spread. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

We get it, the Padres loaded up, but the spread is for them to win by 3 after they just won 3-2 Tuesday night? Colorado is 2-5 in San Diego this year, but 2 of those losses were just 1 run.

Padres 5, Rockies 3

Money line

Colorado has the 2nd-worst road record in the league (16-31) and is tough to bet outright away from Coors Field. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

A bullpen game helps the home team in this one. The Padres pen had a shaky July but alongside some bad-luck numbers along the margins.

The Rockies struggle mightily on the road, and Urena has looked lost of late.

TAKE THE PADRES -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

Both bullpens figure as having skills being underplayed in surface numbers.

The Padres’ offense has been lackluster at home; Colorado’s offense has been a bottom-5 outfit on the road. Both offenses are swung around to their worst platoon side against right-handers.

On a breeze-in evening at pitcher-friendly Petco, BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-108).

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Rockies 3

Money line

Colorado has the 2nd-worst road record in the league (16-30) and is tough to bet outright away from Coors Field. The Rockies are a lean but a better play on the run line. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies have the edge in the bullpen fatigue game, and that may well be a big factor with Clevinger making his second start of the second half.

Senzatela’s expected-ERA figures are encouraging enough to warrant a play on the ROCKIES +1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

Senzatela has pitched through the traffic of a .395 batting average on balls in play. Both bullpens figure as having skills being underplayed in surface numbers.

The Padres’ offense has been lackluster at home; Colorado’s offense has been likewise on the road. Both offenses are swung around to their worst platoon side against right-handers.

On a breeze-in evening at pitcher-friendly Petco, BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-112).

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Rockies 6

Money line

The Rockies are 10-18 on the road this season. Only 3 teams have fewer road wins in the majors.

The Padres are 17-12 at home, but have won only 6 of their last 11 home games.

With both starters not shutting down opponents, it should be a close game.

I like the Padres to win but the price is right on the edge of being not worth the play. PASS and go with the spread and the total.

Run line/Against the spread

Despite their 10-18 overall record on the road, the Rockies are 14-14 ATS on the road this season. Three of their last 4 losses have been by only 1 run.

The Padres are 10-19 ATS this season at home.

I LEAN ROCKIES +1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

Two of the 3 games in this series have had 8 or more runs.

Eight of Marquez’s 11 starts this season have finished with 8 or more runs.

Five of the Padres’ last 7 games have had 8 or more runs.

Take OVER 7.5 (-112).
