San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies 5/10/19 MLB Odds, Preview, and Prediction

The San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies meet in the Rocky Mountains on Friday as the NFL’s 2019 season continues.

Eric Lauer will open on top of the mound for the Padres in this series opener. The 23-year old left hander from Kent State has started a total of seven games for the Padres this season. The Elyria, Ohio native has a record of 2-3 with an ERA of 4.30, WHIP of 1.30 and a BAA of .255.

In a total of 37.2 innings pitched, Lauer has allowed a total of 19 runs (18 earned) on 37 hits with six home runs. He’s walked a total of 12 hitters while striking out a total of 34 batters. In his last outing, Lauer pitched 5 innings while allowing four hits and two earned runs while getting the loss against the Dodgers last May 3rd.

Eric Hosmer has been the main offensive guy for San Diego this season. The 29-year old first baseman leads the team with his .280 batting average. Hosmer is 12-28 in the last seven days with five RBIs and one home run during that stretch. He also leads the Padres with 23 RBIs while Franmil Reyes leads the team with 10 homers on the season. As a team, the Padres are hitting just .227 and have scored a total of 149 runs this season.

For the Rockies, it will be German Marquez who got the call to start on Friday against the Padres. The 24-year old from San Felix, Venezuela has started a total of 8 games this season and has a record of 3-2. Marquez has an ERA of 3.46, WHIP of .108 and a BAA of .228 on the season.

The right-hander has pitched in a total of 52 innings this season and has allowed a total of 20 runs (all earned) on 44 hits with seven home runs while striking out 52 and walking 12 batters. In his last outing on May 5, Marquez allowed five earned runs on seven hits with two home runs in seven innings of work. He earned the win after the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks 8-7.

As usual, it’s Nolan Arenado who is leading the Colorado batters this season. The 28-year old third baseman from Newport Beach, California leads the team with 27 RBIs and 9 home runs. Arenado also has the best batting average in the team at .310. As a team, the Rockies are batting at .239 while scoring a total of 170 runs this season.

Who Wins?

San Diego is 5-5 SU in their last 10 games played. The Padres are 2-2 SU in their last four games on the road. Colorado is 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played. The Rockies are 1-3 SU in their last four games played at home. Head to head, the Rockies are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games against the Padres and they are also 5-2 SU in their last seven meetings in Colorado.

The Rockies are 7-2 SU in their last nine games against an opponent with a losing record. Colorado is also 6-3 SU in their last nine Game 1s of a series. Lauer has given up six homers and has walked 12 batters in his last seven games pitched. Those aren’t good numbers when you’re going to play in Colorado. I don’t really like the Rockies as baseball betting favorites here because I don’t trust Marquez who has been inconsistent but with Colorado’s offense picking up as of late, I’ll roll with the home team here.
