The Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres begin a doubleheader with an afternoon tilt at 4:10 p.m. ET on Tuesday. San Diego, which is reportedly in the process of finalizing a deal to acquire Juan Soto from the Nationals, is listed as a -278 favorite (risk $278 to win $100) at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under is set at 7.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page). 

Before making any Rockies vs. Padres picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it enters Week 18 on a 20-14 roll on top-rated MLB picks, returning almost $400 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows the Rockies have impressive offensive numbers. Colorado enters the week leading the National League in hits, triples and batting average. The Rockies are also in the top five of the league in doubles, on-base percentage, OPS, total bases, and strikeout avoidance. Colorado has six regulars with OPS marks over .700, and the Rockies also deploy an effective bullpen that avoids home runs and generates ground balls with regularity.

The model also knows the Padres have the benefit of home-field advantage. San Diego is also a top-five team in doubles and walks, with above-average marks in strikeout avoidance and triples. The Padres are built around MVP candidate Manny Machado, and San Diego's bullpen is dynamic. Padres relievers lead the NL in ground ball rate, with top-five marks in walk rate and wins above replacement.

Now, it has set its sights on Rockies vs. Padres. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one team has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
