Expert Score & Prediction
The Colorado Rockies are going to win this game on the road at the Padres. Neither team has a great starting pitcher going, but one guy that has struggled on the season is Jered Weaver. Weaver has yet to win, and that will remain the same. Look for a ton of runs, despite being a pitchers ball park.
The Rockies are going to throw Antonio Senzatela. He is 3-1 on the season. He has been pretty decent to start the season. The Padres are not a great offensive team, which will help Senzatela have another solid start. The final bet for this game on Wednesday is the Colorado Rockies -122 over the San Diego Padres.
