MLB Betting Trends
San Diego
The Padres are 1-6 in their last seven games versus the NL West. San Diego is 5-16 in its last 21 Saturday games.
Colorado
The Rockies are 1-6 in their last seven Saturday games. Colorado is 4-0 in the last four Gray starts.
Prediction:
San Diego might be having the better season thus far, but it is on the road here sending a left-handed starter to the mound in Coors Field against a lineup that is capable of crushing lefties. Look for Story and Arenado to be heavily involved again to go with a solid Gray outing to send the Rockies to another home victory.
