The Rockies held their own against the Dodgers, their best series yet, but they still have some showing and proving to do. This isn’t a good baseball team until proven otherwise. The Padres still have some magic to them and are a team we’ve backed a lot this season.
Vasquez is off to a fine start with a 2.49 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 21.2 innings. He’s averaging nearly a strikeout per inning. Until the Rockies change my view of them or the Padres remove the horseshoe from their behind, I’ll keep backing San Diego and fading Colorado. Give me the Padres and the cheap price.
