Analysis

This is the unfortunate perfect storm for Colorado's pitching staff heading into this week. a) You're playing at Coors Field; b) On Sunday, you had to play a doubleheader; c) One of those doubleheader games went to extra innings; d) You've got a starting pitchers that's gotten rocked by the opposing lineup. Have fun! San Diego's current roster is hitting .290 in 104 plate appearances against Austin Gomber with a 9.6-percent strikeout rate and a .366 weighted on-base average. All six relievers that appeared in yesterday's doubleheader against the Mariners threw at least 15 pitches, so you have to assume that key relievers like Jake Bird (29 pitches) and Jalen Beeks (31 pitches) are unavailable for Monday. In their six games at Coors Field last season, San Diego scored an average of 6.3 runs per game. Gomber faced the Padres twice at Coors Field last season, and he allowed nine runs on 17 hits in 10.0 innings with six strikeouts and four walks. San Diego has scored 6+ runs six times in its last ten games, and that's without the help of Coors Field and a shaky bullpen. Add those into the mix and the Padres should hit that mark once again.
