Even with COVID absences, the Padres have been very hard to stop. They are looking for a win and a series sweep this afternoon.
Colorado Rockies
Colorado is looking to bust a four game losing streak this afternoon. They have only scored one run over the first two games, continuing a pattern of struggling for offense away from Coors Field.
Chi Chi Gonzalez looked great in his last start, shutting out the Reds for seven innings at home. It helps that he was pitching with a lead after the first inning. That is unlikely to be the case in this one.
The Rockies bullpen is not killing them but they are not a strength either. Daniel Bard is not having another renaissance season and they are not sure where to go when they need an out the most.
San Diego Padres
Even with the COVID casualties the Padres remain one of the hottest teams in MLB. They have won five straight and eight of nine. Their pitching has been great and they are scoring just enough. COVID definitely robbed them of key offensive contributors like Fernando Tatis Jr. but the arms are as good and deep as ever.
Joe Murgrove has one of the now five no-hitters we have seen this season. He does have to watch the homers a little and has been hit hard a couple of times by the Giants but by and large he has been pitching well all season.
Mark Melancon leads the Majors with 14 saves. He has been pitching great and that goes for nearly everyone they have handed to ball to all seaosn long. The bullpen is a major strength.

Free Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres MLB Prediction:
It is hard not to like the Padres again today. There is not much value on the money line at the current price though.
Taking them on the run line is the way to play it. Just a little riskier because their offense is a little light right now.
