He is 0-2 with an ERA of 5.06 and 12 strikeouts in 2 appearances against the Rockies in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Diego's last 5 games on the road.
San Diego Padres are 0-10 SU in their last 10 games when playing on the road against Colorado.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Colorado's last 10 games against San Diego.
Colorado Rockies are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games at home.
Prediction
The Padres have lost 7 of their last 10 games but they have had some tough series against teams like the Dodgers, Mariners and Giants. They have also struggled against the Rockies losing 5 of the last 7 head to head games this season and 10 straight games at Colorado. They'll send Sean Manaea to the mound who has been up and down this season an has allowed 14 runs in his last 19.1 innings pitched. The Rockies have been decent at home so far this season with a 23-21 record and will send Urena to the mound who had a great game against the Dodgers. The Padres have struggled offensively but this line is indicating something else, if CJ Cron and Kris Bryant don't play I'd definitely hit the Padres with the run line but if they play I'd consider taking the Rockies with the run line.
PICK: Padres -1.5 (+105)
