Rockies vs Padres Prediction, Betting Analysis
The San Diego Padres are heavy -260 favorites to take Game 2 of their four-game set against the Colorado Rockies, who sit at +210 on the moneyline. Oddsmakers have set the over/under at 8.5 runs.
San Diego opened the series with a 2-0 win on Thursday night behind Jackson Merrill’s homer and Randy Vasquez’s career-best nine strikeouts across six innings. The shutout loss marked another tough offensive showing for Colorado, which continues to rank near the bottom of MLB in scoring.
On the mound Friday, the Rockies hand the ball to Tanner Gordon, while the Padres counter with left-hander JP Sears. Neither arm is elite, but this setup fits squarely into the Series Unders: Off Low-Scoring Games system from Evan Abrams.
This angle targets spots where teams enter the second or later game of a series following minimal offense in the opener. The idea is that the market often overcorrects, but offensive stagnation tends to linger, especially in early or mid-series matchups.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-115, Fanatics)
