The San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies meet Friday in MLB action at Coors Field. The San Diego Padres look to build on their 4-game winning streak. The Colorado Rockies need a win after losing 10 of their last 14 games.

The San Diego Padres have scored 37 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Padres have won 7 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Manny Machado leads the Padres with 80 hits and 43 RBI, while Eric Hosmer and Jake Cronenworth have combined for 125 hits and 69 RBI. MacKenzie Gore gets the ball, and he is 4-2 with a 2.50 ERA and 60 strikeouts this season. This will be Gore’s second career game against the Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies have scored 10 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The Rockies have won 6 of their last 9 games when scoring 4 or more runs. CJ Cron leads the Rockies with 71 hits and 44 RBI, while Connor Joe and Charlie Blackmon have combined for 124 hits and 49 RBI. Kyle Freeland gets the ball, and he is 2-5 with a 4.39 ERA and 48 strikeouts this season. Freeland is 4-5 with a 3.89 ERA and 62 strikeouts in his career against the Padres.

The Padres are 20-8 in their last 28 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The Rockies are 0-7 in their last 7 home games and 4-10 in their last 14 overall. The over is 5-2 in Padres last 7 road games. The under is 3-0-1 in Rockies last 4 overall. The Padres are 0-7 in the last 7 meetings in Colorado and 2-5 in the last 7 meetings.

MacKenzie Gore was just rocked by the Rockies at home, allowing 5 hits and 6 runs in 2.1 innings. Kyle Freeland silenced the Rockies for 3 hits and 2 runs through 6 innings. With that said, the Padres are playing their best ball of the season and their offense is tearing the cover off the ball. Gore has also been terrific this season overall, and that includes a 1.05 ERA and .196 allowed batting average in 25.2 road innings. I’ll lay the cheap juice with the Padres.
