Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The San Diego Padres have been rolling all second half, and I’m just not excited to step in front of their momentum, especially against a bottom feeding team. Joe Musgrove is an all star caliber pitcher who will get stronger with reps, while Bradley Blalock hasn’t shown much in a small sample size. The Padres need to keep taking advantage of games like this as they breathe down the Dodgers neck. Give me the Padres and the RL for max betting value.
