The Rockies' lineup has been hurt by the loss of Nolan Arenado's big bat, but second baseman Ryan McMahon is off to a good start, hitting.262 with a team-high 8 home runs and 22 RBIs. Raimel Tapia, the team's leading hitter with four home runs and 20 RBIs, has struggled to stay healthy in his six years in the majors.

Antonio Senzatela, a right-handed pitcher, has struggled to find his stride this season, going 1-3 with a 5.76 ERA. He's been in the Rockies rotation since 2017, with a 5.05 ERA in that time. He's not a power pitcher, with only 18 strikeouts in 29.2 innings this season. Senzatela has lost his last four starts for the Rockies, and in a loss to the Diamondbacks, he had one of his worst starts of the season, allowing 9 hits and 3 runs in 4 2/3 innings.

San Diego has a strong lineup, but they have struggled at the plate this season, hitting.233 and averaging 3.9 runs per game, respectively, ranking 16th and 24th in the league. Fernando Tatis Jr. missed some time earlier this season but is now hitting.240 with 9 home runs and 14 RBIs. Eric Hosmer, the team's first baseman, is also off to a great start. Despite hitting.307 and leading the team with 20 RBIs, he only has four home runs.

Dinelson Lamet will make his third start of the season, and he is coming off one of the best seasons in his career, with a 2.09 ERA in 12 starts. Due to injuries, he has only made two starts this season, pitching four innings and allowing no runs while scattering five hits and striking out four batters. Lamet has been a reliable member of the rotation, but his return from injury raises some concerns.
Even though the Rockies are two different teams, they will have plenty of problems dealing with a Padres team that is finally getting healthy. San Diego is expected to be one of the best teams in baseball, and after a rout of the Giants, they'll be able to build on that and beat the Rockies on the road. Padres win 5-4, as predicted by the final score.
