San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the Padres here. It would be nice to get confirmation who they’re sending out here, but the thing is that the Rockies may be forced to pull Kyle Freeland as well depending on what the ruling regarding his suspension is from the fracas with the San Francisco Giants. San Diego is still a solid lineup offensively despite their struggles and at the end of the day they still have the far better bullpen. Give me San Diego here.
