Prediction

With an unbeaten mark at Home, the best relievers in MLB, a +35 RD already at Home, and facing a team scoring just 1.25 RPG on the Road, this one is a no-brainer even with King’s bad track record vs the Rockies.

But with the money line odds at San Diego Padres minus -245, the only two ways to approach betting on the Junior Circuit game would be looking at the Total (7.5) under or backing the Padres in the Run Line market. King may give up some runs to the desperate visitors in this spot, but with the best record in the Bigs, expect San Diego to find a way to win and get the sweep. In the Rockies’ 11 losses so far, only one has been by 2 runs or more, and the last 10 straight have all been by 2 runs or more.
