Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres (MLB) - Apr 17, 2008 10:05 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -157 San Diego Padres

Jake Peavy (3-0 , 1.64 ERA), the NL's reigning Cy Young Award winner, looks to continue his top tier performances as he goes for his fourth straight win to start his 2008 campaign this Thursday when the Padres close out a three-game series with the visiting Rockies. After getting buried 10-2 the Padres will be very motivated to get some redemption, and have the edge with their ace on the hill. Note: The Rockies will send Jeff Francis (0-2, 9.53) to the mound in return . Francis is becoming notorious for early season struggles, and has continued down that path this season, as he has shown in both of his starts, while last time out allowing seven runs in five innings in an 8-2 loss to Arizona .

Final notes & Key Trends: Francis went (1-3, 6.61 ERA in five starts) vs the Padres last year.

I hope the Rockies can pick it up a little bit they always tend to seem like the underdog when you are hoping they do their best it doesnt always work out. I really think they could be awesome but something is for sure lacking.

Are you from Colorado? Or just a fan of the Rockies?
