Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread
Chase Anderson has been inconsistent this season. He has a few good games, and a few bad games. However, he is coming off his best start of the season. He went seven hitless innings against the San Francisco Giants, and he struck out seven in the game. Anderson has the ability to throw the ball well in the game, and he should be able to do so again in this one. If Anderson can go just five or six strong, the Rockies will find a way to cover the spread.
Why The Padres Could Cover The Spread
Seth Lugo has made two starts against the Rockies this season. Both of them have been great. In total, Lugo has thrown 14 innings, allowed nine hits, struck out 16, and he has a 1.93 ERA. Lugo has thrown the ball extremely well against the Rockies this season, and that should not change in this game. The Rockies are not a strong offensive team, and they have been bad as of late. Lugo should be able to go right at them, work the zone, and shut them down to help the Padres cover the spread.
Final Rockies-Padres Prediction & Pick
I am not so sure this game will be close. I fully expect the Padres to complete the sweep with ease in this game. Seth Lugo has dominated the Rockies this season, and that will not change in this game. Anderson has just not been consistent enough. I am taking the Padres to win this game and cover the spread.
Final Rockies-Padres Prediction & Pick: Padres -1.5 (-130), Over 8.5 (-114)
