T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres.

I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. The Padres haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will bounce back here with their ace pitcher starting in this game. The Padres have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games and haven't been putting up a ton of offense in those but I don't think they will need many runs to win here with Musgrove starting, and playing at Coors Field should help spark their offense to put up some runs too. The Rockies have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they haven't looked great lately either with their offense barely producing runs in their games. They have already been really cold as a lineup but they are going to struggle even more with this pitching matchup. Joe Musgrove (8-2, 2.09 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been really consistent all year, being the best starter on this staff this year. He hasn't had many bad starts this year either and has already faced this Rockies lineup this year, pitching in 6 scoreless innings against them. It will be a tougher task at Coors Field here but he has also been striking out a ton of batters in his starts lately and will be able to shut down the Rockies lineup which has been really cold lately. Chad Kuhl (6-5, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked terrible this year but he has given up a lot of runs in a majority of his starts, including 5/6 of his previous 6 starts. He hasn't really been lasting longer than 5 innings in his starts and this Padres lineup has already faced him this year, cashing in 5 runs on him in less than 5 innings. I expect the Padres to get on him early here and I see them putting up a ton of runs in this ballpark. I like the Padres to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Padres.
