Colorado vs San Diego Score Prediction

Colorado Rockies

• The last-place Colorado Rockies will start Chase Anderson in the finale of this series with San Diego.
• Offensively, they are averaging 4.51 points per game.
• Defensively, they are allowing an average of 5.92 points to be scored against them per game.

• Anderson still owns an ugly 6.00 ERA with a 57:29 K:BB through 75 innings.
• Pitching has been a disaster all year, and they are now 56-94 on the season.

San Diego Padres Analysis

• The San Diego Padres, who are far out of playoff contention, will trot out Seth Lugo in the finale of a lifeless series with the Rockies.
• Lugo allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Athletics.
• Lugo has been consistent contributor for the Padres this season, with a 3.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 126:31 K:BB through 131.2 innings over 24 starts.
• However, it is their production at the plate that has led to the Padres' demise.
• The Padres have power ranking of 7 and are #13 for offense (scoring an average of 4.69 per game), #6 for defense (giving up an average of 4.17 points per game).
• Colorado went 3-0 in their last 3 matchups against San Diego.

Seth Lugo Leads Padres in Hopes of Defeating Chase Anderson and Rockies in Series Finale'

The San Diego Padres will take to the field with Seth Lugo in the finale of their series with the Rockies. Lugo secured a win last week after allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings. Despite having a strong roster, including excellent starting pitching, the Padres have failed to meet expectations and presently trail the third wild-card spot by six games. This year has been a letdown, but San Diego looks to prevent further disappointment by taking out their frustrations on Chase Anderson and obtaining a victory. Predicted result: San Diego by two.
