Rockies vs Padres Prediction
Buehler has found his footing over the last month or so, and the Padres are the hottest team in baseball as they close in on a playoff spot. The Rockies have been trash all season and Feltner doesnt make anything better with his 5.88 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. Feltner has a 6.18 ERA and .267 allowed batting average through 59.2 innings. I like the Padres to win their ninth straight game. Of course I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
