1* San Diego (8:40 ET): Incredibly, there has been just one instance of Colorado winning back to back road games in 2021. It occurred right before the All-Star Break when they won two straight here in San Diego. Remarkably, the Rockies now have the opportunity to do it again as they beat the Padres 9-4 last night. Friday's game was pretty much decided in the first inning when Ryan McMahon hit a grand slam for the visitors and then Fernando Tatis exited with a shoulder injury in home half. But I wouldn't go betting on Colorado here. In fact, I'm thinking quite the opposite. The Rockies are just 12-39 on the road this year, including 3-17 as an underdog of +175 to +250. I just can't see them winning for a fourth time in five games here at Petco Park. Not with an offense that barely puts up 3.0 runs per game away from Coors Field. Yu Darvish has a 10-2 TSR at home for the Padres and his ERA here is 2.79. His WHIP is 0.972. It's been a bit of a rough July for Darvish, but facing the majors' worst road team should fix that. German Marquez is still with the Rockies after the trade deadline, a surprise to some, and will be looking to replicate his last effort here in San Diego when he tossed seven shutout innings. But since then, he's allowed four runs in B2B outings. He has a 2-6 TSR on the road this season. I just can't see Colorado winning two straight on the road. 1* San Diego
