MLB Pick
- Over 8.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook (check our Caesars Sportsbook Review)
Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres
Friday, August 02, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at Petco Park
The AI Model believes the Padres and Rockies will combine for nearly nine runs. However, the total for tonight’s game on Caesars Sportsbook is stuck at 8.5. That’s enough to take the Over for tonight’s matchup.
San Diego’s Righties Will Go Bonkers
The San Diego Padres will take on Austin Gomber of the Rockies. He’s a lefty pitcher who rarely faces left-handed batters. Instead, he’s always throwing to righties, where he’s allowed a .279 ISO and wOBA of .393 over the last month.
Over the last month, the Padres’ right-handed bats have combined to hit a .168 ISO and wOBA of .385, with just 14% of strikeouts against lefties.
San Diego should add plenty of runs in this game.
Colorado Can Get On Base, Too
Using the projected lineup, the Rockies have hit a .191 ISO and wOBA of .349 against righties over the last month.
They’ve struck out more against righties in the last month, but they’re facing Randy Vasquez, who has struck out just 17.5% of batters over the last 30 days. Vasquez has also allowed 48.3% of hard contact and rarely gets swings and misses.
Colorado should contribute to the box score just as much as the Padres.
The Pick
Take the Over 8.5 in this West Coast tilt.
