The San Diego Padres will go against the Colorado Rockies in MLB action in Coors Field, CO, on Monday, July 31, 2023, at 8:40 PM ET. On Monday, Seth Lugo will be on the mound.

The Pirates were held to two runs on 3 hits in seven innings during Lugo’s previous start, but he had no support and was given the loss.

The veteran was outstanding, allowing two runs or fewer in three of his past four starts, and has a 4-5 record with a 3.62 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 82 innings pitched.

In their lone encounter this season, Lugo, who has a 3.64 ERA and a 3-0 record in 30.2-lifetime innings, kept the Rockies to just one run across seven innings.

San Diego travels where they range in age from 23 to 29. They issued a three-game sweep of the Rangers this week to get back on track after a dismal series defeat to the Pirates.

Excellent pitching prevented the Rangers from scoring more than four runs. The Padres are five games shy of a wildcard place with a 6-4 record over their last ten games.

This year, Fernando Tatis Jr. had a brilliant 1.5 OPS and a brilliant 6 for 12 versus the Rockets. The great outfielder leads the team with 18 home runs, 53 RBIs, and a respectable .826 OPS.

Tatis Jr. recently played below-average baseball and has a .785 OPS in July. Ha-Seong Kim’s credibility is under doubt.

San Diego is scoring 4.54 runs per game on average, which places them 14th. With a collective ERA of 3.74, the pitching staff is among the best in the major leagues right now.

The Padres’ relievers entered the game in 105 save situations and have a cumulative save percentage of 56.5%. They made 26 saves so far this year, while 20 of their 46 chances to make saves were missed.

On the season, the bullpen pitchers allowed 116 base runners to reach home plate, with 35.3% of those runners scoring. This year, the Padres sent 326 relievers to the mound.

On Monday, Austin Gomber will get the ball rolling. Gomber was outstanding in his previous start against the Marlins, allowing just one run (zero earned) across six innings, leading to a no-decision in a game the Rockies lost.

The seasoned southpaw threw well lately, giving up two runs or fewer in three of his four appearances this month, but he now has a dismal 5.83 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and an 8-8 record in 108 innings played for the season.

Gomber has a 3.70 ERA and a 2-3 record in 41.1 innings pitched versus San Diego this season, but he also gave up 10 runs in 10 innings pitched. 

After securing a rare series victory over the Marlins, Colorado went on to lose three straight games to the Nationals before suffering a humiliating series defeat to the Athletics over the weekend.

The pitching is still really poor. 19 runs were lost against the A’s by them.

This season, C.J. Cron showed to be a difficult opponent for the Padres, hitting three home runs, adding seven RBIs, and posting an OPS of 1.3.

In 56 games this season, the seasoned first baseman has 11 home runs, 32 RBIs, and a .780 OPS. In his previous eight games, Cron collected nine RBIs.

As of right now, they have a 7.30 strikeout-to-walk ratio (722 strikeouts vs 374 free passes). With 968 total hits allowed, their pitching staff is presently ranked 28th in the league.
