Matchup/League Facts

The San Diego Padres ranks 1st in the league for walks this season (442).

The San Diego Padres ranks 1st in the league for ERA this season (3.70).

The Colorado Rockies ranks 4th in the league for doubles this season (199).

The Colorado Rockies ranks 12th in the league for batting average this season (.254).

Pick

The Padres have to be feeling great after sweeping the Texas Rangers over the weekend and they should have another series win here. San Diego is five games out of a Wild Card berth, so they need to stay hot and rack up wins quickly. The Padres are starting Seth Lugo, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Colorado is starting Austin Gomber, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Gomber has really turned it around in recent starts, but his ERA is still atrocious. I think the Padres are going to continue their momentum in this series and it will start with a big win in Game 1.
