Padres vs. Rockies Betting Pick
This game will be played at Coors Field at 8:40 PM ET on Monday, July 11, 2022.
Why Bet The Rockies:
✅ The Rockies have already swept San Diego at home this season (June 17-19). That gives the Rockies six straight victories against the Padres in Colorado dating back to last season. Plus, Colorado has won five straight games against San Diego.
✅ The Rockies are only 23-21 at home the season. However, they are 7-2 in their last nine games at Coors Field. That includes the three-game sweep over San Diego, but they also took two out of three against the Dodgers and two of three against Arizona.

✅ The Rockies Jose Urena has looked spectacular. The right-hander has a 2.51 ERA in five appearances the season. In his first start of the year, he dominated the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits in 6.2 innings.
San Diego Padres
The Padres were hammered by the Giants on Sunday, 12-0, dropping the final two games of this four-game set. That moved the Padres to 3-6 in July. They are 7.0 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West but still hold the second-best record for the NL wild card.
Despite giving up 12 runs on Sunday, pitching has been spectacular for the club. They allowed seven runs total through the first three games of the series against the Giants and are fourth overall with a 3.83 ERA. San Diego starts left-hander Sean Manaea (3-4, 4.18).
Colorado Rockies
The Rockies defeated Arizona on Sunday, 3-2. That gave Colorado victories in three of the four contests against the Diamondbacks, moving them into a fourth-place tie in the NL West. They are also 8.0 games out in the NL wild card chase.
Colorado is 28th in runs allowed per game (5.50) and has not been much better in July, posting a 5.44 ERA. The big challenge for this club is keeping the ball in the park, as they have allowed 16 home runs in 86.0 innings in July.
