Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres Prediction
I’m on the Rockies here. I think that Walker Buehler is the weak link of the Padres’ rotation, as he’s been getting shelled early on this season and I don’t really expect that to change here. The Rockies normally have a one game slump after coming out of Colorado as it takes time for the bats to adjust to the altitude change, but all in all, I think that the Rockies bounce back and get a win here. Give me Colorado.
