Rockies vs Padres Prediction
The Padres are probably the side given their body of work and the fact that they don’t string together losses. However, I’m looking at the oven. Quick turnaround, Coors, and two pitchers who have been awful in limited sample sizes. Waldron has a 14.73 ERA and 2.45 WHIP in 3.2 innings. Feltner has a 6.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 18 innings. We’re likely going to see a high-scoring game here. I’ll take the over.
