The San Diego Padres had problems scoring runs last season, and remain suspect on offense as we enter 2014. The Padres have managed just 40 runs in 14 games, or less than 3 per contest. They have actually scored 2 or fewer in 57% of their games. The Colorado Rockies have long been known to struggle on offense away from home, and nothing has looked different as we are into 2014 season. The Rockies are slugging at home, averaging 7.5 runs per game at Coors. It's a different story on the highway where they have struggled, scoring 32 runs in nine games, or 3.5 a contest. This game will be decided on the mound, not the plate. Colorado is 19-4-4 to the UNDER in their last 27 vs. a losing team, while the Padres are 12-2 to the UNDER in their last 14 as a home favorite. The Padres have been 7-0-1 to the UNDER in their last eight at home vs. a left-handed starter. Go with the UNDER in this one.
