OUR PREDICTION

I like the Padres to pick up their first win of the season. The Rockies are just 1-4 in Bettis’ last five road starts against the Padres and are -14 in his last five road outings dating back to last year. The Padres, meanwhile, are 7-1 in their last eight home games versus a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400 and have won 11 of their last 15 games versus an opponent with a winning percentage below .400.
