Rockies vs. Padres Game 2 Prediction and Odds for Tuesday, August 2 (Fade Jose Urena on Road)
By Peter Dewey
The San Diego Padres are having quite the day, as they are playing a doubleheader with the Colorado Rockies and reportedly agreed to a deal for superstar Juan Soto ahead of the trade deadline.
The package going back to Washington for Juan Soto and Josh Bell, sources tell ESPN:
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 2, 2022
- LHP MacKenzie Gore
- OF Robert Hassell III
- SS C.J. Abrams
- OF James Wood
- RHP Jarlin Susana
- one more major league player
That's the only holdup right now to the agreed-upon deal.
Not a bad day to be a Padres fan.
San Diego will send one of its top prospects, Reiss Knehr, to the mound against Rockies starter Jose Urena (1-3, 4.67 EA) in Game 2 of this doubleheader.

Rockies vs. Padres Prediction and Pick
The Padres are already riding high off the Soto acquisition, and I think they have an easy matchup on their hands against Urena.
After a solid start with Colorado, Urena has been rocked in his last two starts, allowing 16 runs (12 earned) over 8.1 innings pitched.
The Padres won’t have too much of a diminished roster by the Soto deal, as they mainly gave up top prospects to bring the superstar to San Diego.
The Rockies are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and have been awful on the road this season, going just 16-31.
I’m all over San Diego in the second game of this doubleheader.
Lean: Padres -1.5 (+110)
