Colorado at San Diego

The look of things in the early going would certainly have you believing that neither of these teams are going to be playing in October. The Rockies may be the bigger disappointment, as they have had a tailor-made schedule early through 28 games. With 18 coming at home, they are usually well equipped to use their unique home stadium to their advantage, but have a losing record there. That doesn't bode well for them on the road, where their bats are in a whole new world. The Rockies scored 5 in their road opener vs. Houston, but in the nine road games since, never more than 4. After a year off, Jeff Suppan looked great in his 2012 debut allowing zero runs for the Padres. The Rockies’ hitting woes worsen vs. right-hand pitching are now 7-18 in their last 25 against them. The Rockies have been victimized by the Padres in six of the last eight meetings, and are in trouble again. Play on San Diego.
