Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres Prediction

I’m on the Rockies here. The Rockies fell flat in a better spot on Friday, but I feel the same about Marquez that I felt about Friday’s Padres starter Walker Buehler, that they’re both the weaker end of San Diego’s starting rotation. I think there’s still solid bats in Colorado’s lineup and I think the Rockies could get some measure of revenge here. Give me Colorado.
