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.

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.
