San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
The San Diego Padres should win this game, but I’m not running to the window to lay this sort of juice. However, the Colorado Rockies are awful and making a case for them is a waste of time. Austin Gomber has an ERA of nearly 5 on the season and has been getting rocked lately. Randy Vasquez is in a similar boat and has allowed 10 runs in his last 19.1 innings. I expect some fireworks in this game with two shaky pitchers. Low total. Give me the over.
