The Colorado Rockies (2-0) and the San Diego Padres (0-2) play the 3rd contest in a 4-game series Saturday. First pitch at Petco Park is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Rockies lead series 2-0
The Rockies have gotten off to an unexpected start, outscoring the Padres by an 11-3 score in the first 2 games of the season. Colorado’s Charlie Blackmon hit a homer, while collecting 2 hits and 2 RBIs in Friday’s 4-1 victory.
The Padres managed just 5 hits in Friday’s loss, and they had 7 hits in Thursday’s opener. Losing a pair of games to the lowly Rockies to start the season is not exactly what San Diego fans and bettors were thinking with this star-studded lineup.
