With a red hot pitcher (Jimenez) on the mound, the Rockies grabbed yesterday’s opener. Tonight, however, the Padres have the pitcher who is currently in much better form.

Leblanc enters tonight’s game with a 2-0 record (Padres are 3-0) with a truly outstanding 0.52 ERA. The Padres have won his three starts by a combined score of 19-3, including 14-0 in his last two.

Conversely, Smith enters tonight’s game with a 1-2 record and a brutal 7.33 ERA. The Rockies are 1-4 in his five starts, including 0-3 his last three. Over those three games, Smith has a 9.53 ERA and 2.471 WHIP!

The Rockies are 1-3 as road underdogs in the +125 to +150 range, falling to 20-32 (-5) in that role the past 2+ seasons. Looking back further and we find them at a money-burning 110-191 (-40.3) their last 300+ in that situation.

Yesterday’s loss notwithstanding, the Padres have been very good at home this season. They’ve been particularly good as home favorites of this size, going 4-0 when playing at home with a line in the -125 to -150 range. They’re also 4-1 vs. southpaw starters on the season. Consider laying the wood.
