San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

The Colorado Rockies are piling up the wins this week, but they’re still a bad baseball team and I still need to see more before I can trust them. The San Diego Padres need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to be taken seriously in the NL West. Dylan Cease has also been one of the best pitchers in baseball with a top-10 ERA, strikeouts, and WHIP. Again, the Rockies have some more showing and proving to do given how they’ve played overall this season. Give me the Padres and the RL for max betting value.
