Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres
Play: San Diego Padres
Pitching is the key to winning baseball over the long haul and the season goes on for six months of regular season action until the playoffs, but there are times when it just doesn't matter. When times are slumping nothing helps. Colorado is now 4-13 in their last 17 road games and only 5-13 in their last 18 overall. Stick with the trend...take PADRES!

THE DUKE SPORTS
Colorado (-105) for 1.5 Units
The Rockies have had success in SD at 4-0. They're on a 6-0 run on the road against teams with a home winning % below .400. Aaron Cook, who is making his first appearance since breaking his right ring finger in spring training, rehabbed in triple A and should turn in some quality innings. The Rockies' respectable bullpen gets a boost with the healthy return of Rex Brothers in middle relief. The Padres, which aren't big run producers, rely on great pitching to fuel their win streaks. Enter Dustin Moselely to add to the pitching success; however, the SD lineup may have trouble giving him run support. They're 8-22 at home vs righty starters. And the Rockies are 5-1 with Cook in SD. Colorado the call.
