Padres vs Rockies Prediction
The Rockies aren’t as bad for MLB bettors as one would think, but I’m still not excited to back them, especially here. Lorenzen has a 6.53 ERA and 1.79 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 21 hits and 11 earned runs in his last 19 innings. Through 100.2 innings, Lorenzen has a .327 allowed batting average. No thanks. King is having a hell of a July where he’s allowed 16 hits and 5 runs in 23 innings. This should be a comfortable win for the Padres, and of course I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
