Listed at +105 to cover -1.5 runs, the San Diego Padres will be leaning on an in-form Randy Vasquez to lead them to a convincing win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 1 on Thursday.
Momentum: The Colorado Rockies improved their record to 6-6 after winning four in a row, powered by a three-game sweep of the Houston Astros early this week. The San Diego Padres are also 6-6, having won four of their last five games. The Padres took 2 out of 3 games in their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Matchup: Colorado and San Diego will kick off a four-game series on Thursday. The Rockies are pitching 3.66 while hitting .245 with 4.5 runs per game this season. The Padres are posting a 3.82 ERA and hitting .214 with 3.9 runs per game.
Starters: The Padres will be sending Randy Vasquez (1-0, 0.75 ERA) against a still unnamed starter from the Rockies.
Batters to Watch: Padres center fielder Jackson Merill is batting .200 with two HRs and seven RBIs this season. Rockies right fielder Ramon Laureano is batting .244 with two homers and six RBIs in 12 games this season.
Hot on the Board: The Rockies are +170 road underdogs and -125 if they cover the spread at +1.5 runs. The Padres are -205 favorites with Vasquez starting and a +105 if they win by two runs (-1.5 runs). The total stands at over/under 8 runs.

Our San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Padres take down the Rockies 4-2
Pick the Padres to cover -1.5 runs. San Diego has won by at least two runs in five of their last six games against the Rockies. Although Colorado is batting really well in their last five games (.285 with 6.5 runs per game), I doubt the Rockies will have similar success against Vasquez, who allowed only one run after 12 innings pitched.
Moreover, the Padres’ offense is beginning to show its true form, posting a .247 BA with 5 runs and 8.6 hits per game over their last five assignments. San Diego is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games when playing at home against Colorado.
Our betting prediction for the Colorado Rockies vs. the San Diego Padres: The Padres -1.5 Runs
