Where: Coors Field Stadium Padres vs Rockies Odds & Probabilities Moneyline: Padres -175 | Rockies +155

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that San Diego will win straight-up is 64%.

The San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies will battle in game two of their three-game series in Colorado on Tuesday night. Pedro Avila (0 ERA) will start for the Padres, who are one of the biggest disappointments of the season and are in 4th place in the NL West Division. Colorado, who were not expected to compete this year and are in last place in the NL West, will be led by Peter Lambert (2-1, 4.76 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 PM EST, with the Padres being the betting favorite, opening at -175. No line movement has been reported.

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres head to Colorado still within contention for a playoff spot, despite having a record below .500. The team has yet to commit to being a seller or buyer at the trade deadline and has the potential to surge in the month of August. Over the weekend, the Padres swept AL West-leading Texas and have won four of their last five games heading into Tuesday night's matchup. Rumors had been swirling of potential trades for Blake Snell, Seth Lugo and Juan Soto, but all talk of selling has likely been squashed. The Padres have been plugging and playing starters since Michael Wacha went on the IL with a shoulder injury. Defensively, they are ranked #2 and have allowed an average of 3.94 points per game. Offensively, they are ranked #14 and have scored an average of 4.52 per game. Furthermore, they are currently 52-55 on the season. Unfortunately, OF Preston Tucker is out due to injury.

Colorado Rockies Analysis

The Colorado Rockies came into the season with modest expectations, and are currently mired in last place in the division. On Sunday, they traded away two of their everyday stalwarts, CJ Cron and Randal Grichuk, to the Angels for two minor-league pitchers. Despite this, they managed to end their four-game losing streak on Sunday with a 2-0 win over the Oakland A's and continue this on Monday with a 4-3 win. On Tuesday night, the Rockies will send righty Peter Lambert to the hill. Lambert's 17 appearances on the season have included 3 starts, and he currently has an overall ERA of 4.76. Power Ranking: #20 Offense: 4.35 points per game (PPG) Defense: 5.74 PPG Overall Record: 42-64 Most Recent Matchup: 2-1 Win Againest San Diego

Colorado Rockies Celebrate Two-Game Winning Streak After Modest Season Start and Trades

The Colorado Rockies began their season with modest expectations; even the team's owner suggested that a .500 record would be a positive outcome. In line with their rebuilding efforts, the Rockies traded two of their everyday players, first baseman C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk, to the Angels in exchange for two minor-league pitchers. This activity was followed by a 2-0 win over the Oakland Athletics and a 4-3 victory against the same opponent on Monday, ending a four-game losing streak. On Tuesday, the Rockies' Peter Lambert will take the hill as their starter, having been recently converted from the bullpen, where he made 17 appearances and three starts this season to date. The righty has posted an ERA of 4.76 with an overall K/9 rate of 8.1 and WHIP of 1.41 in 45.1 innings of work; during his last outing, he allowed just three hits and one unearned run over a season-high six innings in a 5-4 loss to the Nationals. Injury-wise, outfielders Kris Bryant and Charlie Blackmon are currently unavailable.

My Prediction: Rockies +1.5 (+103) to cover
