San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies 8/1/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The San Diego Padres will go against the Colorado Rockies in MLB action in Coors Field, CO, on Tuesday, August 1, 2023, at 8:40 PM ET.

The Padres, who now hold fourth place in the NL West Division, are among baseball’s biggest letdowns this season.

The Rockies were not anticipated to be competitive this season, and they now hold the bottom spot in the NL West Division.

The San Diego Padres are now below .500 but are still in contention for a postseason place when they travel to Colorado.

The franchise did not yet decide whether it will sell or purchase before the trade deadline, but it undoubtedly has the kind of squad that can heat up in August and overtake some teams ahead of them.

Prior to Monday night’s game, the Padres swept Texas, who was leading the AL West. They now won four of their previous five games.

The Padres’ sweeping of the Rangers this weekend certainly stopped thoughts of them being sellers at the trade deadline, despite whispers of potential deals for Blake Snell, Seth Lugo, and possibly Juan Soto circulating.

Since starting pitcher Michael Wacha was placed on the IL with a shoulder injury, the Padres were forced to improvise in this position in the rotation.

Given that the team was unclear of their position going into the Rangers series, the Padres kept this berth vacant on Tuesday night.

The Padres, who are back in the race, will probably use their bullpen on Tuesday night against a weak Rockies lineup.

Pitchers in the Padres bullpen faced 105 high-leverage situations in addition to 75 starts with runners on base. The bullpen relievers rank ninth in the league with 62 holds overall.

The bullpen relievers for the Padres entered the game in 109 save situations and have a 57.4% save percentage. They made 27 saves so far this year, while 20 of their 47 chances to make saves were missed.

This season, the relievers received 116 base runners, and 35.3% of those runners scored. Over the course of the season, the Padres sent 336 bullpen pitchers to the mound.

Even the Colorado Rockies‘ owner said a season with a .500 record would be successful when the team began play.

The Rockies, stuck in last place in their division, began their full-on reconstruction on Sunday by dealing away two of their regular starters.

The Rockies sent the Angels two minor-league pitchers in exchange for first baseman CJ Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk.

With a 2-0 victory over the inferior Oakland A’s on Sunday, the Rockies were able to snap a four-game losing run.

Tuesday night’s second game will feature righty Peter Lambert for the Rockies. Lambert was moved to the starting rotation after spending most of the season in the bullpen.

San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies. The MLB pick for this game is the San Diego Padres. As a result of the losses to Bryant and Blackmon and the trades of Grichuk and Cron, the Rockies’ lineup will be weakened.

The Padres will make this one a bullpen game. After certainly barring any selling mentality from club ownership with their sweeping of the Rangers this weekend, the Padres should enter this series on a high.

This year, San Diego is 4-3 versus the Rockies, including a pair of victories at Coors Field in June. In this game, expect the Padres’ powerful lineup to inflict some damage and pressure the Rockies’ bullpen early.

As the season enters the month of August, anticipate a comfortable victory for the San Diego club. The San Diego Padres will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
