Tim Finnegan recommends betting the Padres at -1.5 run line against Colorado. The Padres boast significant starting pitching and lineup advantages for this home matchup. Finnegan highlights the Rockies' weak offensive performances during road games and expects Padres pitcher Michael King to dominate, while San Diego's offense capitalizes against Colorado's vulnerable pitching staff. He believes this creates a spot where the Padres comfortably cover the run-line.

Tim Finnegan confidently picks the Rockies to score fewer than 2.5 runs at San Diego. Colorado's offense has shown significant struggles away from the hitter-friendly environment of Coors Field. The Padres deploy starter Michael King, whose recent outings have been excellent, creating favorable conditions for limiting Colorado's already challenged road offense. Finnegan sees this as a prime opportunity to fade the Rockies' scoring potential decisively.

Tim Finnegan advocates for the under on Zack Wheeler's allowed earned runs (1.5) in his matchup against St Louis. Wheeler's consistency and impactful start to the season make him a likely candidate to keep runs to a minimum. Finnegan notes Wheeler's excellent road stats and superior control, combined with St Louis' struggles against right-handed pitchers this season, suggesting Wheeler is primed for a strong performance.

Tim Finnegan is backing Michael King to record 6 or more strikeouts against the Rockies. Finnegan cites King's ability to generate swings and misses consistently, complementing that with the Rockies' notably high strikeout rate on the road. Additionally, King's recent outings have showcased impressive strikeout potential, further solidifying Finnegan's belief that he'll easily surpass six strikeouts at pitcher-friendly Petco Park.

Tim Finnegan recommends betting on Michael King to allow fewer than 1.5 earned runs against the Rockies. King's recent form has been dominant, controlling opposing lineups effectively. Finnegan emphasizes the Rockies' struggles on the road, particularly their offensive woes away from Coors Field. He expects King to leverage Petco Park's pitcher-friendly dimensions and continue his impressive start to the season against an offense ranked near the bottom in Road OPS and strikeout rate.
