San Diego lost in a blowout to San Francisco and will now travel to another NL West division rival, the Colorado Rockies. Will the Padres be able to get off to a winning start on this road trip? Let's pick a few options to bet on at once.

The team from Denver has played the previous seven games on the road. First, the Rockies lost three straight to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-5, 2-5, 1-2. Then they took 3 of 4 games from Arizona, 4-3, 6-5, 2-9, 3-2. A rare away success, given Colorado's purely home-oriented nature. The Rockies are last in the National League West Division standings with a 38-48 balance.
José Ureña has been named Colorado's starting pitcher for the upcoming game. This will be his second game for the new team after transferring from Milwaukee. In the first, the Dominican allowed just one run in 6.2 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers (1-2).
San Diego on decline
With a 49-38 balance at the moment, the Padres are still second in the NL West. That said, first, they're already visibly eight wins behind the division-leading Dodgers. Second, they've been losing a lot lately. So before visiting Colorado, San Diego managed to take away only two home games of four from not less bugging San Francisco – 2-1, 6-3, 1-3, 0-12.
Head-to-head encounters
The score in the season series is 5-2 in favor of Colorado.
Expert Betting Tips
San Diego has lost to Colorado for five games in a row and it will be completely unseemly for the Padres to lose to the outsider for the sixth time in a row. It's likely that Bob Melvin's team will repeatedly strike out Rockies pitcher Ureña, whose quality start against the Dodgers is an exception to the rule of his usually lackluster play.
Prediction: San Diego will win in a high-scoring match.
