San Diego at Colorado

I had the Padres in a total this past Sunday, and that offense hasn't cooled off since, riding one of the league's best offensive stretches right now. Michael King gets the ball this afternoon with an 11-9 record and a 3.03 ERA, ranking 13th among all National League starters this season. Colorado counters with Tanner Gordon, who's swung between the rotation and the bullpen all year and made just ten starts, sitting on a 5.55 ERA with one win to show for it. The Rockies are 56-96 and on pace for a fourth straight 100-loss season, a last-place club with nothing left to play for and a rotation spot filled by necessity rather than merit. San Diego has the better arm and the deeper lineup, and nothing about Colorado's season suggests that will change today. Play the Padres on the moneyline this afternoon.
