Who Will Take Home the Series Win?
Padres Look to Even Playing Field
Throughout the first two games of the series, the Rockies were utterly dominant. The Padres lost the first two games by a combined eight points, making it difficult to root for them. However, after the Padres came back to win Game 3 of the series 8-4.
The Padres clearly look ready to win now, earning the title of the betting favorites in MLB picks. With Game 4 steadily approaching, the odds seem even tougher to analyze.
Colorado Rockies Continue San Diego Takeover
The Rockies have been surprisingly difficult for the Padres to beat, regardless of the fact that they have been MLB betting underdogs in every game of the series. Winning the series 2-1, they just need one more win to seal the deal and take their talents to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers.
Austin Gomber should start off on the mound, which does not bode well for Colorado. Although he has some league experience, he had a 5.56 ERA in his last season with 33 games played. If he can show out and dominate to start, there is a real possibility that the Rockies will defeat the MLB lines.
Although they did lose the previous matchup, C.J. Cron had a good game. His four at bats produced two hits, two RBIs, and a home run. If he can duplicate that performance just one more time, the Rockies could end the series with a win.
Will the San Diego Padres Tie it Up?
After two incredibly surprising losses to start off the series, the Padres showed their true colors, defeating the Colorado Rockies by four runs. Their ten hits was four more than their opponents, with only two players in the rotation not finding contact.
In recent MLB news, it is expected that Seth Lugo will be their starting pitcher. This gives the Padres a healthy advantage on the mound, with Lugo being consistently dominant for the past seven seasons.
He had an ERA of 3.60 in 62 games played in 2022, paired with an impressive 69 strikeouts. Online sports betting seems to favor him and the Padres in this matchup, and it is understandable as to why.

As previously mentioned, the pitching matchup seems to be in the San Diego Padres‘ favor. However, no matter the Padres pitcher, they need to watch out for C.J. Cron.
In the first three games of the season, he has a .636 batting average with seven hits, seven RBIs, and three home runs. Even more impressively, it is in 11 at bats, meaning he has hit a home run in over ¼ of all his at bats on the season.
That is better than some players’ regular batting average. If betters are interested in MLB picks and parlays, Cron would be a safe addition to your props.

Rockies vs Padres Picks and Prediction
Although the Padres are listed as favorites once again, it is hard to rally for them due to their two poor performances to start the season. However, despite this, they seem to have an edge coming into the game.
With their batting rotation hitting its potential and the pitching matchup being in their favor, it would be criminal to bet against them in the MLB spreads and moneyline.
