Rockies vs Padres Wild Card Battle | San Diego Padres News

The Rockies, MLB’s worst team at 42-65, face a must-win series against the surging Padres, who sit third in the NL West at 50-53 and are just 1.5 games out of a wild-card spot. While Rockies’ Hunter Goodman is crushing homers, the Padres’ Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill are also heating up — but key players are in slumps. Rockies’ Michael Lorenzen, struggling on the mound, takes the hill against Padres’ sharp-throwing Michael King. For the Padres, this homestand could be pivotal in their playoff push; for the Rockies, it’s a chance to end the season on a high note — even if the odds are stacked against them.
