Snell finally got his first win of the season in his ninth start when he beat the San Francisco Giants last Friday at home. Snell had 11 strikeouts in six innings while allowing one run, three hits and two walks.

It also marked the first time the Padres won when Snell started in 2022.

In seven career starts versus the Rockies, Snell has a 2-1 record and 3.89 ERA. He has struggled at Coors Field, though, going 1-1 with a 6.50 ERA in four starts.

Snell is 0-2 on the road this season with a 4.66 ERA in five games (four starts). In the daylight, he is 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA over three games (two starts).

Freeland has lost both his starts in July while yielding a 7.50 ERA. He gave up six runs on seven hits in 6.1 innings to the Diamondbacks last Saturday in Arizona while striking out three and walking two.

Freeland has a .500 record in 17 lifetime games (15 starts) against the Padres, going 5-5 with a 3.99 ERA.

The Rockies’ Yonathan Daza is 6 for 9 with a double off Snell and first baseman C.J. Cron is 7 for 15 (.467) with one double and one home run. However, Randal Grichuk has struck out 12 times while going 3 for 24 (.125) with two doubles.

Padres vs Rockies Betting Outlook

Ike Hilliard hit an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to break a 6-6 tie Wednesday night and Jose Iglesias added a two-run single in the three-run inning to lift the Rockies past the Padres.

Iglesias homered for the Rockies and finished 3 for 5 with six RBIs. Hilliard also had three hits while Charlie Blackmon, Grichuk and Elias Diaz added two each.

Cron (wrist) did not start for the fourth time in five games but had a pinch-hit single in the seventh and finished the game at first base. Reliever Jesus Colome was unavailable with a slightly strained right hamstring but could be ready to return Thursday.

Jake Cronenworth homered for the Padres and went 2 for 3 with a double, three runs scored and two RBIs. Eric Hosmer also had two hits and drove in two runs and Nomar Mazara had two hits.

The Padres activated left-handed relief pitcher Adrian Morejon from the injured list prior to the game and he allowed one run in one inning. Left shoulder inflammation had kept Morejon out of action since June 23. Reiss Knehr was optioned to Triple-A El Paso.

Morejon has had some trouble with the Rockies this season.

The Rockies have won seven of 10 games from the Padres this season, including five of six at Coors Field. The Rockies hold a 94-78 series advantage since the start of the 2013 season.

Padres vs Rockies Prediction

It has been a rough season for Snell, but he finally put together a dominant outing his next time out and his expected season statistics are solid. Let’s go with him to make it two wins in a row despite the Rockies dominance over the Padres at Coors Field this year.

Pick: Padres ML (-136)
