San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

The Colorado Rockies haven’t been able to string together wins all season, so excuse me if I don’t believe in this recent stretch they’ve had this week. The San Diego Padres have been consistent offensively this week, and Martin Perez is better than what he’s shown this season. Also, Perez should be eager to make a positive impression in his first Game since coming over from Pittsburgh. Give me the Padres, and I’ll lay the RL to shave the price.
