August 2 Best Bet: Rockies vs Padres Game 1 (Yu Darvish vs Feltner)
(MLB) Colorado vs. San Diego,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -112.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Win
It's hard to overlook the Padres' advantage in Game 1 with Yu Darvish starting against Ryan Feltner. San Diego seems to be all in at the trade deadline and is rumored to possibly get Juan Soto. Obviously, Soto would not be playing in this game, but I expect the aggression by the front office to only spark this team. Yu Darvish has a 1.94 ERA at home this season, with opponents batting only .163 against him in those games. The Rockies will be starting Ryan Feltner, who has a 6.44 ERA in 10 career games. The Rockies also have one of the worst bullpens in the game and the second lowest scoring road offense The Padres have good value on the runline here.
