The pressure is off and the Padres have finally turned it on, scoring 40 runs during their five-game win streak. They have Cy Young candidate Blake Snell on the mound, while Colorado counters with Ryan Feltner. He has not pitched since May 13 after being hit in the head by a line drive. Feltner won't throw more than about 80 pitches, then he'll be followed by MLB's worst bullpen (5.29 ERA).
San Diego scored 10+ runs in back to back games and Xander Bogaerts has led the charge, hitting .458 this month with a 1.288 OPS! Ryan Feltner returns from injury for Colorado, and he threw only 66 pitches in his last rehab start without finishing five innings. The putrid Rockies bullpen (MLB worst 7.04 ERA last 30 days) should be in a spot to cover multiple innings here. Blake Snell has been stellar at not allowing runs and the Rockies have struggled vs lefties, so the Padres offense will need to pick up the slack. San Diego won Snell's last start 6-1, just missing this total, and that game featured the Dodgers bullpen (2.17 ERA last 30 days).
