San Diego Padres
The Padres are doing what every team’s goal is throughout the entire season, win series’. After dropping 2 of 3 to the Dodgers, the Padres have taken 3 of 4 from San Francisco, 2 of 3 from Arizona, and 2 of 3 from Chicago. They’ll look to win the opening game of a series for the 2nd straight time as they get set to take on Colorado.
The Padres will send spot starter Odrisamer Despaigne to the mound, who will be making his 2nd and probably last spot start for the Padres.
Despaigne had a stellar opening start going 7 innings, allowing just 2 hits and 1 run in a win over Arizona. He’ll look to build off that and put an end to his road struggles.
Despaigne is 0-6 with a 6.37 ERA in his last 7 road starts. This will be his first appearance at Coors Field.
In one start against Colorado, Despaigne went 7 scoreless innings in a 4-1 win.

Colorado Rockies
The Rockies had a weekend to forget in Los Angeles as they were swept away by the Dodgers, while only scoring 6 runs in the losing effort. They’ll look to rebound when they welcome back Jorge De La Rosa from the DL. The left hander will be starting a place where he has had major success.
Jorge De La Rosa is 45-14 with a 3.98 ERA in his career inside Coors Field. Combined in the past two seasons, De La Rosa has totaled 30 wins.
