The San Diego Padres are on the road this Monday at Coors Field to take on the Colorado Rockies in what is an important game for the road team with serious playoff implications, as the Padres need to start winning games to close the gap on the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.
San Diego Padres
There are some worrying signs for the Padres recently as they have only won 1 out of their last 5 games and the quality of the teams they have been losing against is also concerning with recent games dropped to the Diamondbacks and Marlins.
The one big positive for the Padres is that Fernando Tatis Jr. is now back off of the injured list and he continued on where he left off hitting two home runs in his first game back off of the injured list.
Tatis will be one of those key guys for this Padres squad, as they are unable to replace his offensive production, as he has already put up 33 home runs and that is with various stints on the injured list this year.
It will be important to check the news feed before first pitch in this game, as the Padres have not yet listed a pitcher, but they do come in to this series with some solid overall pitching numbers holding their opponents to a 3.67 ERA which ranks them 7th in the league from an overall sense.
Colorado Rockies
It has been a disappointing year for the Colorado Rockies, but they have proven that they can still be competitive coming in here with a 52-66 record, although they have not been playing great lately going 1-5 in their last 6 games.
Although the overall batting statistics are not half bad, this team has not been a good batting side, as you have to adjust greatly their numbers playing their home games at Coors Field, so this offense will be one of the points that the management needs to focus on going into next year if they hope to be competitive.
Antonio Senzatela will get the call to the mound for this matchup and he has been okay this year coming in here with a 4.71 ERA and he has been okay in his last 3 starts giving up 10 runs over 16.2 innings pitched.

Free San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies MLB Prediction:
This is a sneaky spot for Colorado to pick up a win, as the starting pitching situation for the Padres is still up in the air and the Rockies have traditionally been much better at home then on the road.
We are also getting a nice plus money price on the home team, and it is not like the Padres have been crushing it recently, as they just dropped a series to the D-Backs by a series score of 3-1.
