The wrong team is favored on Monday night and I LOVE the value of a wager on the Rockies at +161...

San Diego was good enough to win on Sunday, but it's inconsistent at the plate and bats .214 vs. left-handed pitchers. I'm betting against my hometown team tomorrow on the road. Rockies SP Austin Gomber has held his last three opponents to seven total runs (15.1 IP). He faced four quality teams so far (Arizona twice, Tampa Bay, and Philadelphia)... In his last start against San Diego, he allowed two runs in 6.0 IP. Aside from one poor outing, he has fared well against the Padres in the last two seasons, holding them to six combined runs with a 17:6 K:BB ratio in the other five appearances (21.1 IP). He sports a 3.61 ERA in 12 career appearances versus SD.

I'll fade San Diego and SP Dylan Cease (five runs in 4.2 IP in his lone start vs. Colorado last year).
