San Diego is not often favorites, but when they are a home favorite they usually win going 35-16 in their last 51 as a home favorite while the Rockies are 15-39 in their last 54 as a road under dog. The Rockies have also struggled against LHP going 14-38 in their last 52 road games vs. a LH starter and 22-48 over their last 70 overall vs. LH starter. Eric Stults is a veteran posting a 3.06 ERA at home last year along with a 3.05 ERA in 3 starts against the Rockies. Petco Park is where offenses go to die and that is likely what will happen with the Rockies offense tonight. On the other hill is Jordan Lyles who is what he is a below average starting pitcher. Over the last 3 years he has a 5.51 ERA on the road and a 5.51 ERA in 3 starts vs. the Padres who in 39 AB have a .410 average and a 1.104 OPS against him. Lyles is just not a clutch pitcher he has decent stuff, but when runners on base he's a different pitcher and I believe from past history the Padres should get a bunch of runners aboard.
