The San Diego Padres will take on the Colorado Rockies in game 1 of a three-game set. The Padres will send MacKenzie Gore to the mound. He last faced these Rockies and things did not go well for him. He lasted 2.1 innings and allowed six runs on five hits. The Rockies will counter with Kyle Freeland on the mound. He is coming off a win over the Padres in which he went six innings and gave up two runs on three hits. Colorado is 11-25 in their last 36 games and 8-20 in their last 28 games as a home underdog. San Diego is 11-3 in their last 14 games as a road favorite. MacKenzie Gore has pitched well on the road and is 3-0 with a 1.05 ERA while Kyle Freeland is 1-3 with a 5.35 ERA in seven home starts this year. The Padres offense has been putting up a ton of runs as of late and the Rockies are struggling at the plate. T expect Gore to have a better outing than he did the last time he faces the Rockies and I look for the Padres offense to power them to another win.

Play on San Diego. This is a 7* play.
