BETTING TRENDS

Colorado Rockies are 6-14 SU in their last 20 games when playing on the road against San Diego.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of San Diego's last 6 games against an opponent in the National League.

San Diego Padres are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games at home.

Prediction

The Rockies struggled offensively in the first game of the series vs Padres and now they will have to face Yu Darvishwho has allowed 3 runs in his last 14 innings pitched. The Padres have won 4 of their last 6 games but struggled the last time they faced Ryan Feltner who held them to 1 run across 6 innings. Expect another close game as both starters shoud have good games. Take the under.

PICK: Under 7 (-110)
