Friday night comp play in the N.L. West on the Padres to rough up the Rockies in their series opener from Petco Park.

Colorado was able to "salvage" their 3 games set last night in Arizona, as the Rockies notched only their 7th road win of the entire season against the Diamondbacks.

Colorado enters this series opener at 7-33 away from Denver, while San Diego is 32-17 on their home diamond this season.

The Padres are thinking "payback" as they actually lost ALL 3 to the Rockies back in the middle of June at Coors Field.

San Diego did win the previous 3 game set in their home park back in the middle of May and they should welcome this series after splitting 4 games against the surging Washington Nationals earlier this week.

The pitching matchup is not that important to me, as the track record spelled out this season by Colorado when they are on the road speaks volumes.

Go ahead and lay the run-and-a-half with the Friars for Friday.

3* SAN DIEGO -1 1/2 RUNS

I'm going to play San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatís Jr. over 1/2 an RBI against the Colorado Rockies, as he's had some success against his team's N.L. West rival.

Obviously, his highest rate of runs batted in have come against West-division foes, but Tatís' 19 RBI against Colorado, in 24 games, run second to the 26 he has against Arizona in 26 games.

Tatís is hitting .357 lifetime against the Rockies, his second-highest average against an opponent he's played at least 10 games.

This year, Tatís has already hit three home runs, and has six RBI against the Rockies, in just four games. And after the way the team performed last night in coming from behind against the Nationals, erasing an 8-0 deficit to win 9-8, I think we should see at least one RBI from the Padres' star.

5* TATIS OVER RBI

Friday night in baseball lay the road wood with the White Sox as they look to get healthy in Baltimore against the Orioles.

Chicago has shook off their recent 3 game slide with wins in their last pair of games in Minnesota in which their pitching staff only let up 2 runs in the pair of wins.

Now the Pale Hose face an Orioles team they have already swept 4 off of in the month of May in the Windy City. In that series the Sox outscored the O's, 18-7 as they held Baltimore to one run in 3 of the 4 wins.

Baltimore's latest losing run is 4 of their last 5 and tonight's starter Jorge Lopez stands at just 2-11 on the year while the team is 4-13 when he starts.

Dallas Keuchel is 0-2 over his last 4 starts, but this looks like the spot he gets back to his winning ways. Keuchel beat the O's back on May 29th and he will beat them again tonight.

4* WHITE SOX
