Colorado is 14-38 in their last 52 division games and 1-5 in their last 6 game three matchups while the under is 7-2 in their last 9 games following a loss. 

Pick

I’m backing the Padres here. Lamet’s stunk it up in a limited sample size this season and the problem for Snell this season has been a lack of run support in his starts. However, given how Lamet has pitched, getting run support shouldn’t be an issue and I think the Padres beat up on Lamet and the Rox for the sweep here.
