The San Diego Padres (69-53) and Colorado Rockies (44-78) open a 3-game set at Coors Field Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Padres (-165) are 19-4 since the All-Star break and have won the last 2 meetings between these teams. 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

The Padres won 10-2 in Waldron’s last start vs. Colorado and outscored the Pirates 13-3 in their most recent series. Twelve of San Diego’s 19 wins since the break have been by multiple runs, while Colorado has lost Quantrill’s last 2 starts by 3 or more.

BET PADRES -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Waldron has given up 3 or fewer ER in 14 of his last 17 starts, and Quantrill has allowed 3 or fewer in 3 of his last 4. The Padres will likely score 6 or more runs, but it may not be enough to cash the Over with such a high total.

BET UNDER 11.5 (-120).

San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (13-13) take on the Colorado Rockies (6-18) Wednesday in the 3rd game of a 4-game set at Coors Field at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Colorado rocked the Padres 7-4 Tuesday. The Padres got out to a 4-1 lead in the 3rd and didn’t score again. OF Jackson Merrill went 2 for 3 Tuesday, and his .467 batting average (21 for 45) is the highest road mark in baseball. The Padres are tied for 9th with 4.8 R/game and are 10th with a 3.85 ERA. They are 7-5 on the road thus far.

2B Brendan Rodgers‘ lone hit was the difference Tuesday as it went for a grand slam. The Rockies have just 6 wins on the year, and 4 of them have come at home. Their 6-18 start has tied their worst start in their 32 years as a franchise.

Padres at Rockies projected starters

RHP Matt Waldron vs. TBD

Waldron (0-2, 4.74 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 over 19 innings.

Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 2 K Friday
Home/road career splits: 1-1, 3.04 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 5.7 K/9 in 5 road starts; 0-4, 5.61 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 8.6 K/9 in 7 home games (5 starts)
Has never faced Rockies before

The Rockies have yet to announce a starter for Wednesday.

Rockies are last in MLB with a 5.68 ERA and 1.66 WHIP
Rockies’ bullpen is 23rd in MLB with a 4.88 ERA and last with a 1.58 WHIP

Over/Under (O/U): 11 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Padres should rebound here as the Rockies could wind up going with a bullpen game. However, dropping -160 on a .500 team with an unknown on the hill isn’t a good use of funds.

Instead, let’s go with MATT WALDRON OVER 3.5 K’S (-135). He has 4+ K’s in 3 of 4 starts, and the Rockies are the 5th-easiest to whiff in baseball.

Run line/Against the spread

We’re projecting a multi-run win for San Diego here, but I don’t like betting -110 on it. Let’s stick with Waldron and take MATT WALDRON UNDER 16.5 OUTS (-135). He has never pitched in Coors Field. He relies on a 91-mph 4-seamer, a knuckleball, sinker, sweeper and cutter. That’s not the repertoire that you can control in the altitude. He also hasn’t pitched 5 2/3 in any of his starts this season.

Over/Under

This one can go either way, but I have trouble betting an Over 11 when Colorado is tied for 24th at 3.7 R/game. The first game of this series went Under, and Tuesday’s game would have pushed.

LEAN UNDER 11 (-105).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Rockies 3

Moneyline

Well, the Rockies are 5-17 this season and aren’t even doing well at home. They are 3-6 at Coors Field to start the season. They have been held to 2 or fewer runs in 6 of the last 7 games.

The Padres (-190) are 5-1 in their last 6 games when opponents score 3 or fewer runs. They are 6-4 on the road this season and have won Cease’s last 2 outings.

But betting them at -190 isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Nine of the Padres’ 12 wins have been by 2 or more runs.

Twelve of the Rockies’ 17 losses have been by 2 or more runs, including 3 of their last 4.

BET PADRES -1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

While Coors Field has a reputation of high-scoring games, only 4 of 12 contests there this season have had 11 or more total runs.

The Rockies have scored 3 or fewer runs 15 times in 22 outings this season and are 1-14 in those games. Six of their last 8 games have not reached 11 total runs.

BET UNDER 10.5 (-110).

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

Gomber has pitched better lately, with a 3.00 ERA and just 2 BB across 36 IP over his last 6 starts, but he has been awful at home this season. Lugo has been rock-solid, and the Padres have been rolling and have climbed back into the race for a playoff spot. However, San Diego is 23-29 away from home on the season so this price is just a little too steep.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Colorado dropped 2 of 3 to the lowly Oakland Athletics over the weekend, then proceeded to trade away two of their best hitters. This is a game the Padres should win and the run line for the road team at Coors Field is always in play. Back the PADRES -1.5 (-135).

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

Over/Under

Both starters in this game have been pitching well and are likely to avoid getting blown up despite the challenging environment. It probably won’t be a pitchers’ duel, but this game should slide in just UNDER 11.5 (-105).

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

The Colorado Rockies (26-40) welcome the San Diego Padres (31-33) to Coors Field for the finale of their 3-game series Sunday. First pitch is set for 3:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 4-2

The Rockies have been struggling immensely of late, losing 6 in a row including the 1st 2 games of this series, 9-6 on Friday and 3-2 on Saturday. They have lost 10 of their last 12 and are just 15-19 at home.

The Padres have won 3 in a row and 6 of their last 9 games. San Diego is 16-15 on the road this season. They’re 4th in the NL West, 8 games behind the 1st-place Arizona Diamondbacks.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Rockies projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. RHP Dinelson Lamet

Snell (2-6, 4.06 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.44 WHIP, 5.41 BB/9 and 10.0 K/9 in 62 innings.

Had an MLB-leading 21 wins in 2018, but hasn’t hit double-figure wins in a season since
Padres are just 3-9 in his 12 starts, including a 7-2 home loss to the Rockies in the season opener March 30
Has pitched 12 straight innings without an ER

Lamet (1-3, 12.42 ERA) makes his 15th appearance and 3rd start. He has a 2.46 WHIP, 7.6 BB/9 and 11.3 K/9 in 16 2/3 innings.

The ex-Padres pitcher did not start a game at all last season
The Rockies are 3-11 in games Lamet has appeared.

Over/Under (O/U): 12 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

PASS.

The Rockies have been awful as of late, but at (-185), there is no good value in backing their opponent here. The moneyline for the home side (+150) looks enticing, but with Lamet on the mound, it is also a pass.

Run line/Against the spread

BET PADRES -1.5 (-125).

The Rockies have lost 9 of the 14 games in which Lamet has appeared by 2 or more runs. The Padres are 8-7 on the run line as a road favorite as well, so this is a position they have performed well in.

The Rockies are just 16-23 on the run line following a loss as well. Considering the trends, take PADRES -1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 12 (-110).

The Padres have gone Under in 6 of their last 8 games. They are also 21-42-1 O/U on the season. The Rockies are 28-37-1 O/U this season and have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games.

Despite Lamet’s struggles, this total is too high, and with how these teams have trended, take the UNDER 12 (-110).

San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Diego Padres (83-67) begin a 3-game road series against the Colorado Rockies (64-86) Friday. First pitch from Coors Field is at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Rockies lead 9-7

The Padres had a 5-game win streak going before suffering a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday. San Diego is now only 1/2 game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for the second wild-card spot in the NL.

The Rockies just want to finish the season strong at this point, though, they just got swept in a 4-game home series against the San Francisco Giants. Colorado was outscored 25-11 in its recent series with San Francisco, so it isn’t coming into this game with much momentum.

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 8, Rockies 6

Money line

I’ll go ahead and PASS on the money line in this game at the current odds the Padres have. San Diego is 4-1 in the previous meetings with Colorado, so it could have the edge Friday, but I’m not wagering on the money line straight up.

Run line/Against the spread

PADRES -1.5 (-108) is the ideal option in this game with San Diego still having something to play for. Both pitchers in this game have struggled this season, but I have more confidence in the bats of the Padres than the Rockies.

You can also take PADRES -0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-122) as an alternative if you don’t believe San Diego wins by multiple runs or if you think they’ll take an early lead.

Over/Under

Life is too short to take the Under in a game at Coors Field, especially when there are 2 struggling pitchers taking the mound. OVER 10.5 RUNS (-130) is an enticing bet at plus odds given the fact that both teams should be able to produce a decent number of runs.

The Over has hit in 5 of the last 7 meetings between the Padres and the Rockies.

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 5

Money line

The PADRES (-135) are a decent play, although you’ll have to hold your breath as this one figures to be your typical Coors Field softball-like back-and-forth affair.

San Diego is a little bit of a risky play based on the fact Colorado has had its way with the Padres so far this season, winning 7 of 10.

Run line/Against the spread

The ROCKIES +1.5 (-130) are worth a roll of the dice, as this should be a close game. Colorado has had its way with San Diego, but neither Snell nor Freeland are pitching well enough that this game will be one-sided.

Over/Under

The UNDER 11.5 (-105) is a big number, and playing the Under is always risky business at Coors.

I feel as if we’ll see a decent amount of runs, but the Under will just come in. The wind will be blowing sideways across the outfield, knocking down any potential homer balls to limit some damage.

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 4

Money line

The Padres have won 11 of their last 15 games and, despite the loss on Friday, still have one of baseball’s best road records at 24-12

The Rockies are 1-7 in their last 8 home games the only time they have won consecutive games since May 6 was when they took the final 2 games of the series in San Diego last week.

Take the PADRES (-120).

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).

San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

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

The San Diego Padres (67-55) dropped the first two games of their series against the Colorado Rockies (54-66) and will try to avoid the sweep Wednesday. First pitch is set for 3:10 p.m. ET at Coors Field. Let’s analyze the lines around the Padres vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Padres RHP Jake Arrieta (5-11, 6.88 ERA) makes his 21st start of the season, and first with San Diego. He has a 1.76 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 86 1/3 IP with the Chicago Cubs.

Arrieta put up a 2.57 ERA across his first five starts of the season but has been absolutely brutal ever since. He has allowed 58 ER over 58 1/3 IP (8.95 ERA) over his last 15 starts and holds a 10.44 ERA and 3.1 HR/9 over his last 10 outings.
Arrieta’s first start of August came with the Cubs at Coors Field, an outing in which he allowed 4 ER over 4 IP. He followed that up with a 4 IP, 8 ER performance against the Milwaukee Brewers and the Cubs released him after that outing.

Rockies RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez (3-6, 6.06 ERA) is expected to come off the COVID-19 list to make his 20th appearance (16th start). He has a 1.46 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 5.3 K/9 through 90 2/3 IP.

Gonzalez has done a nice job of keeping the ball in the park at home, with just 4 HR allowed through 43 2/3 IP. However, he has really struggled to miss bats in his home park, where he has recorded a 3.9 K/9 and 5.36 ERA.
Gonzalez has faced the Padres twice this season, once at home and once on the road. In those starts he has surrendered 6 ER across 12 IP with 8 K, 2 BB, and 3 HR allowed.

Prediction

Rockies 8, Padres 7

Money line (ML)

The Cubs lost 10 of their last 11 games Arrieta started before they released him. It’s hard to envision him turning things around with the Padres, especially in his first start, which will take place in an extremely tough environment for pitchers.

The Rockies are countering with Gonzalez, who hasn’t been very good either, but they have won eight of their last nine at home to bring their record on the season at Coors up to 40-21 – second best in the league. Take the ROCKIES (+120).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

With Arrieta on the mound for the Padres, the Rockies shouldn’t have much trouble getting the bats going Wednesday afternoon. If they come up short in the end, they should still score quite a few runs and keep it close.

Back the ROCKIES +1.5 (-122) or seek a better payout and flip it to ROCKIES -1.5 (+195), as a disastrous Arrieta outing wouldn’t be a shocking outcome.

Over/Under (O/U)

This is a very high total, and rightfully so. Both starting pitchers have struggled, and neither of them are strong bets to have much success Wednesday.

Both teams should put up their fair share of runs and help push this total OVER 13.5 (-125).
