MLB Pick: Colorado Rockies -144
The Padres have been a dead fade on the road where they are 12-25 on the season. They have also struggled against left-handed pitching, going just 7-19 against southpaw starters this year. The Padres are 6-24 in their last 30 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Colorado’s Jeff Francis has pitched very well. The Rockies are 3-0 in his last 3 starts, and he has allowed a total of only 3 runs in his last 2 starts. San Diego’s Jason Marquis can’t be trusted. We’re talking about a guy who’s 3-7 with an ERA of 5.67 and a WHIP of 1.707. Take the Rockies. -Dave Price
