Weaver (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers last Thursday, allowing four runs on five hits while walking three and striking out two over five innings. It was a rough debut for the former Angel, who allowed a pair of two-run home runs to Yasiel Puig. His fastball was topping out at just 86 mph, although he hasn’t been an overpowering pitcher in a long, long time.
Senzatela threw five shutout innings last Thursday, allowing two hits while walking three and striking out six. He came away with a no-decision, however, because Colorado’s bats remain dormant thus far in April. Senzatela threw 56 of 93 pitches for strikes, but his fastball hit 96 mph as the 22-year-old rookie made his big-league debut.
Bet Tonight’s Padres vs. Rockies Game
OUR PICK: The Rockies are winless at 0-4 in their last four home games versus a right-handed starter, are 1-4 in their last five home games versus a team that owns a losing road record, and are 3-8 in their last 11 games versus National League West opponents. As previously mentioned, Colorado just isn’t hitting right now. Weaver might be the cure that ails the Rockies’ bats, but at +157 the competitive Padres are worth a roll of the dice.
