Rockies Roll Past Padres in Series Opener
10 Apr
Summary
- Colorado Rockies extended their winning streak to four games.
- Xander Bogaerts has recently improved his hitting performance.
- The Rockies are road underdogs against the Padres.
The Colorado Rockies extended their winning streak to four games by sweeping the Houston Astros. They are now heading to San Diego to face the Padres in a four-game series starting Thursday, April 9. The Padres also return home with momentum, having won two out of three games in their recent road trip.
Despite an uncertain starter for the Rockies, they are considered underdogs in this matchup. Notably, the Padres' Xander Bogaerts has shown a resurgence at the plate. After a slow start to the season, Bogaerts has hit 7 for 16 with a home run and a double in his last four games, indicating he is breaking out of a recent slump. The betting odds, which favor the Padres at nearly -200, suggest this price might be too high for San Diego.
