Ubaldo Jimenez will be liked in MLB baseball betting probabilities as he goes for his 15th win of the season on Friday as the Colorado Rockies host the San Diego Padres.

Jiminez hasn’t pitched that well recently, though he has a 14-1 record and an ERA of 2.27, so the Padres have a possibility in this baseball wagering matchup

Jimenez has permitted 17 runs in his previous 17 2/3 innings but the Rockies have bailed him out each time and he has not sustained a loss. In reality, though his ERA is 8.66, he’s still 1-0 in his last 3 starts. He is 3-0 with a 3.32 ERA against the Padres this year and in his career vs San Diego he’s 7-3 with a 3.61 ERA.

On Friday, Kevin Correia is supposed to get the start for the Padres. He’s 5-6 on the season with a 5.05 ERA. He is 0-1 in his last 3 starts with a 4.15 ERA. Against the Rockies, he is just 2-5 in his career with a 4.74 ERA.

Vs San Diego, the Rockies have won 11 of the last 19 games. This is only the 2nd series in Colorado between the 2 teams this season. Back in April, the Rockies took 2 of 3 at Coors Field. The last 6 meetings between the squads have been in San Diego and the Rockies won 4 of the six. Five of those six games went over the total but it should be mentioned that all three of the matches back in April in Colorado went under the total.

This season, San Diego has been an amazing squad. The Padres have shocked everybody and stayed in 1st place even though they were picked for last in the NL West. It’s now July and the Padres are no longer a fluke. San Diego has proven they can win at home and on the road. They find ways to score enough runs to win and they have a pretty great pitching staff.

Thanks to Jimenez and due to the fact they play well at home, the Rockies are still in the mix in the National League West. The Rockies have been far better at home this season than on the road so this will be a crucial series for them to win vs the first place Padres.
