Rockies vs. Padres Best MLB Prop Bets
Padres Best MLB Prop Bet
- Xander Bogaerts OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-116)
Xander Bogaerts started the season 3 for 8, but then went just 1 for 24 in his next six games, including an 0 for 16 stretch. However, he’s broken out in recent games.
Bogaerts is 7 for 16 with a home run and double in his last four games. I’ll take a crack at him staying hot as he and the Padres return home to face the Rockies.
Rockies vs. Padres Prediction and Pick
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
The Rockies have yet to name a starter for this game as of Thursday morning, but I’m taking them as road underdogs anyway.
The vibes are strong for Colorado, who just swept the Astros at Coors Field. It’s a short trip from Colorado to San Diego, while the Padres return home from a series win in Pittsburgh.
Randy Vasquez has pitched well for the Padres thus far, but this nearly -200 price seems too high for San Diego.
Pick: Rockies +169
