Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread
The Rockies have faced Wacha this season already. Wacha is having a good year, but he struggled in his one start against the Rockies. That was the first start of the season, though. However, in that start, Wacha went six innings, allowed four runs on six hits, and he allowed a home run. To go along with that, Wacha has only gone four innings in his last two starts, and he has allowed 10 total runs. San Diego has lost both those games, and the Rockies need to be able to take advantage of that. If they do, they will cover the spread.
Why The Padres Could Cover The Spread
Blach is having a tough month. He has thrown 16 innings, allowed 26 hits, and has a 6.75 ERA. Those 26 hits allowed have given opponents a .400 batting average off him this month. Blach is having trouble keeping hitters guessing at the plate, and the Padres need to take advantage of that. San Diego has a pretty good offense, and they have a great matchup in this game. As long as they can continue to hit the ball well, and hit it well against a struggling pitcher, the Padres will cover the spread.
Final Rockies-Padres Prediction & Pick
This game should not be overthought. Wacha is having a pretty good season, despite his last two starts. I am going to put my trust into Wacha for this game. Blach is just a little bit too hittable lately. I will also put my trust into the Padres offense to score some runs. I am expecting the Padres to win this game by a good margin, and cover the spread.
Final Rockies-Padres Prediction & Pick: Padres -1.5 (-120), Over 8 (-118)
