Rockies @ Padres Analysis & Breakdown

The Padres have won 9 of their L11 games and are making a run for the post-seaon. They’ve gone 21-12 since June 20th and currently lead the MLB in team batting average. Since the All-Star Break, they’re batting 0.281 and just smoked the Dodgers TWICE.

San Diego’s coming off a loss in the series opener and are looking to respond in a big way. Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber recorded just his third win of the year, going 7 innings and striking out 6.

A rare misstep by the Padres over the last month, who haven’t lost back to back games since July 19th. Tonight we get a duel between Martin Pérez for the Padres and Tanner Gordon for the Rockies.

Both starters have struggled this season, both posting ERA’s north of 5 and allowing more than a home run per game. Tonight it looks like we could be in store for offense so let’s get into tonight best bets.

Ryan McMahon is all smiles for Colorado.

Martin Pérez is allowing 1.41 home runs per 9 innings and 11.39 hits per 9. He’s posted a 5.80 ERA this season and he’s struggled against both lefties and righties. He’s allowing opposing batters hit above 0.306 and he’s 13 home runs in 16 starts.

Ryan McMahon is smashing left handed pitchers this season, batting 0.278 with a 0.468 SLG. He’ went 0/2 yesterday with a walk and tonight looks due for some redemption.

He’s been great against their division, batting 0.269 with 15 RBI and 4 home runs. McMahon’s struggled a little on the road, but today against Pérez I love the matchup. He’s batting 0.625 against McMahon in his career, recording 5 hits and a home run.

Manny Machado o1.5 Total Bases (-104) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS 

Manny’s been on fire all summer long. Since June 1st, he’s batting 0.302 with 12 home runs, and 30 RBI. He’s also been TERRIBLE against the Rockies this year, weirdly enough.

He had 2 hits and a home runs last night, and is still batting just 0.188 with just 1 RBI and 3 hits in 4 matchups with the Rockies. Tonight he faces off with right hander, Tanner Gordon.

Gordon’s struggled against right handed bats this year, allowing them to hit 0.462 with a 0.949 SLG. He’s given up 6 home runs in just 3 career starts, posting a 8.80 ERA with 15 runs allowed and 25 hits.

Machado’s batting 0.277 against righties this year, with 11 of his 17 home runs coming against right handed pitchers. He’s hitting 0.278 at home with a 0.444 SLG and looking to stay hot.

Tonight we’re big big Manny Fans.
