Mike Clevinger will be on the bump Monday for the Padres. He is 2-3, with a 3.16 ERA as a starter this year. In his last two appearances, the right-hander has had a nice stretch, allowing three earned runs in his past 13 innings. He's looked better of late, and he'll be facing a Rockies team that averages only 3.2 runs per game on the road. They're also averaging a measly three runs per contest out of their past seven. Expect Clevinger to keep pitching well against the Padres' division foes.

Antonio Senzatela will get the ball Monday for the Rockies, carrying a 3-5 record and a 4.90 ERA. This Padres offense that he'll be up against ranks #17 in runs per game, but in their past seven, they're averaging five runs per contest. Last time out, Senzatela tossed 6 2/3 innings, allowing eight hits and three earned runs, while striking out 5 in a win versus the Chicago White Sox. Senzatela has a 5.67 ERA, indicating that he's been somewhat lucky this year, which could expire, leaving only bad results. Look for a hot Padres offense to try and get the series started on the right note.
