The Colorado Rockies are rolling into Petco Park, both teams' records sitting pretty at 5-6, with the home team's Padres looking to leverage their home-field advantage. Colorado's Randy Vasquez is set to toe the rubber, fresh off a sparkling outing where he hurled 12 innings with a 0.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts. That's a pretty rosy start, but let's see if he can keep the Rockies' bats from getting cold. Speaking of which, the Rockies' offense has been somewhat lively, boasting a .239 batting average compared to the Padres' .209.
The Rockies are nursing some wounds, with Tyler Freeman and Charlie Condon listed as day-to-day - not exactly the momentum boost they needed. On the flip side, the Padres are dealing with their own injury woes; Jason Adam and Yuki Matsui are on the 15-day IL. ERA-wise, it's a virtual tie: the Rockies' 3.91 to the Padres' 3.99. Vasquez will try to outdo the Padres' yet-to-be-announced starter. Will Vasquez keep his hot streak going, or will the Padres right the ship? Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat.
