Rockies vs Padres Prediction
The Padres just put together a hell of a week, and they’re closing in on a playoff spot. The Rockies look like their bag are packed for vacation and aren’t a team I want to back. Mize has been solid with a 3.70 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, and he was brought to San Diego to bolster the rotation for a postseason run. Sugano has a 5.30 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Sugano has allowed 5 or more earned runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. The Padres should take advantage of spots like this, and of course I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
