(MLB) San Diego vs. Colorado,
Money Line: -155.00 San Diego (Away)
Result: Loss
Two NL West rivals meet up when the San Diego Padres take on the Colorado Rockies. The Padres dropped two of three over the weekend against the NY Mets but were able to come away with a 7-3 win on Sunday. The Padres will look to keep the momentum going by handing the ball to Dinelson Lamet. So far this season, he has posted a 1-1 record with a 3.52 ERA and 27 strikeouts. Against the Rockies, he is 0-2 with a 3.28 ERA and 30 strikeouts.

The Colorado Rockies were swept by the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend and now have lost 4 in a row and five out of their last 6. They dropped their last game to the Reds 6-2 on Sunday. They will look to turn things around and snap their losing streak by sending Austin Gomber to the mound. So far this season, he has posted a 5-5 record with a 3.95 ERA and 71 strikeouts. He is 0-0 with a 1.38 ERA against the Padres.

San Diego is 6-1 in their last 7 division games and 7-0 in their last 7 games against a left-handed starter. Colorado is 16-37 in their last 53 games as an underdog. San Diego has won 10 of their last 11 against the Rockies and 4-1 in their last five in Colorado. The Rockies do play better at home with a 10-14 record. Gomber has a remarkable 1.22 ERA at home but everyone knows that can't last forever. San Diego has a potent lineup that can explode at any time. I like the Padres in this one.

Play on San Diego. This is a 7* play.
