Rockies vs Padres Prediction
When you see the Rockies, you fade them. It’s as simple as that. The Rockies are dreadful across the board and have won five games since March 30. Senzatela has allowed 57 hits and 21 earned runs in 34.1 innings. In 15.1 innings at Coors, Senzatela has a 7.63 ERA and a .333 allowed batting average. The Rockies have just one win this month and are on pace to be one of the worst teams in MLB history.
The season is still young, and a $100 bettor is down more than $2,100 betting on the Rockies. It’s bad, folks. It doesn’t matter what’s on the other side; you keep fading the Rockies. Of course, I’ll side with the RL to shave down the price.
