San Diego at Colorado

It's get-away day for San Diego as they end a six-game road trip. They'd like to get away from Coors Field in a hurry after allowing eight runs in each of the first two games, both losses, part of an 11-25 run on the road. San Diego is #21 in baseball in runs, #29 in on-base percentage, and #28 in slugging. San Diego goes with Jarred Cosart (0-3, 5.16 ERA), who has allowed 53 hits and 33 walks in just 52+ innings. He has a miserable 34-33 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and the Padres are 9-23 away against a team with a losing record. They face a Colorado offense that is second in baseball in runs and slugging, and third in on-base percentage. Rockies starter Chad Bettis (12-7) is on a roll with the team 14-3 his last 17 starts. He just beat these Padres, 4-2, in his last start allowing four hits in seven innings. That followed a two-hit shutout of the Giants. He has a 2-1 record and 2.70 ERA in nine career games (six starts) against San Diego, and this shapes up as another big win by the home team. Play Colorado.
