Rockies vs Padres Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. Initially I was looking at the Padres, but I just don’t love the Padres in their current form, as they couldn’t get anything going on Friday. But I think they get some runs going here against Brown. I also think Colorado can score against Randy Vasquez, who is a fringe starter at best for the Padres’ rotation in my opinion. I think we get some runs here, so I’ll roll with the over in this one.

Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.The Colorado Rockies have a 40-101 record this season and are sitting on the last place of the NL West. The Rockies have a 23-50 home record and are 61-76 in over/under. They are coming off a 3-0 home victory over the Padres, which ended their three-game losing streak. They are playing the Dodgers and the Padres next.The Rockies have a .241 batting average this season, .298 OBP and .393 Slugging percentage. Colorado’s pitching staff has a 5.97 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with 132 hits, also leading the team both in RBI, with 85, and in home runs, with 28. He is also the team’s best hitter with a .285 batting average.McCade Brown (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies, and he has a 0-2 record, 8.22 ERA and 2.09 WHIP.The San Diego Padres have a 76-65 record this season and are sitting on the second place of the NL West. They have a 33-40 road record, and are 60-75 in over/under. The Padres are coming off a 0-3 road defeat by the Rockies, and are 1-7 in their last 8 games.

Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.In this Padres vs Rockies Prediction, the Padres are coming as -190 road favorites. The Padres are on a free fall lately, and I cannot back them up as big road favorites with Vasquez on the mound, who has been weaker on the road, with a 4.17 road ERA. On the flip side, McCade Brown looked terrible in his two starts for the Rockies, who also have one of the league’s weakest bullpens. Both teams are hitting better against righties, and I like both offenses to bounce back today. Take the over 12 runs.

The Padres posted another crooked number in their 4-run 5th inning, giving them a 10-2 lead.

Mason Miller and Robert Suarez were brought in to pitch with the game in the balance in the late innings.

Dylan Cease will take the mound for the Padres in Sunday’s series finale with a chance to win the series and get even atop the NL West if the Dodgers lose as well.

*Article published before the conclusion of Friday’s game.
San Diego limped into this series
San Diego (76-64 SU, 78-62 RL, and 60-74-6 O/U) was swept by Baltimore in its previous series. The Padres are 2-8 in their last ten games (the over was 7-1-2).
SD hasn’t named a probable starter for Saturday’s game at Colorado. Randy Vásquez is expected to be recalled from Triple-A El Paso to make the start, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune. The 26-year-old last pitched for the Padres on August 15, allowing two runs and three hits in a 3.2-inning loss to the Dodgers. He is 3-6 with a 3.96 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 23 starts (111.1 IP) this season at the MLB level, including 2-4 with a 4.17 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 12 road appearances (54.0 IP).
San Diego was off to a hot start to the second half of this season, briefly overaking the Dodgers for the lead position in the division race. The Friars’ momentum was stalled recently, however, as they have dropped three consecutive series. San Diego has played well in front of its home crowd (43-25 record), but is 33-39 on the road. Can the Padres play consistently enough to make a deep run in the 2025 MLB postseason?
San Diego Padres Baseball Injury Report: No injuries for tomorrow’s game versus the Rockies.
Rockies have been more competitive since June
Colorado (39-101 SU, 59-81 RL, and 61-75-4 O/U) was swept by San Francisco in its previous series. The Rockies are 2-8 in their last ten games (the under was 6-4).
Colorado will turn to righty McCade Brown on Saturday against San Diego. The 25-year-old has only made two MLB appearances this season, pitching to a 0-2 record with an 8.22 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in 7.2 combined innings against the Pirates and Cubs. The 2021 third-round pick out of Indiana was 4-2 with a 2.47 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 20 combined minor league appearances (76.2 IP) at the A+ and AA levels.
The Rockies have failed to be more competitive this season, trailing the first-place Dodgers by 39 games in the NL West division standings. It’s been tough for Rockies hitters to make an impact on the game’s outcome, as the pitching staff has a 6.01 ERA, including 6.59 at home. While slightly more competitive against the run line, Colorado is a team most bettors have steered clear of this season.
Colorado Rockies Baseball Injury Report: No new injuries for tomorrow’s game versus the Padres.
Padres vs. Rockies Pick
Run Line Pick for Padres vs. Rockies
Rockies Cover Run Line (5 Units)
The 6-foot-6 Brown has upside. He found success in the minors this year, fanning 105 batters in 76.2 innings and holding opponents to a .192 BA. He can be effective against a Padres lineup that ranks 18th in wOBA and wRC+ on the road this season. Vásquez wasn’t great in his last two MLB appearances, either. The Padres’ expected starter allowed seven runs and 11 hits in just 7.2 innings.
San Diego is only 9-14 against the run line as road favorites this season. I like Colorado to score enough runs to keep the final score close on Saturday in Denver.
Over/Under Pick for Padres vs. Rockies
Over (4 Units)
Colorado is slashing .265 BA/.312 OBP/.426 SLG/.738 OPS in the second half of the season, scoring 0.9 more runs per game than in the first half. They should be able to put runners on base against Vásquez, who hasn’t gotten consistent work in a while and has a 6.23 career ERA against the Rockies.
The visitors will also push Brown to make quality pitches. The 25-year-old walked six batters and hit two batters in his first two big league appearances (7.2 IP). The Padres haven’t been winning much recently, but they averaged 4.9 runs per game in August. With an ineffective Colorado bullpen (29th in ERA) backing up a rookie starter, San Diego should have ample opportunities to score on Saturday in the Mile High City. Bet on the over!
