What Is at Stake
This is the softest stretch left on San Diego’s schedule and the Padres cannot afford to waste it. They hold the last NL wild card spot by two games over the Diamondbacks, who are playing Miami at home over the same stretch. Four games at Coors against a 55-win team is the kind of series that decides October access, but Coors is also where pitching plans go to die, and the Padres are sending a back-end starter into the thin air to open it.
How to Watch Without Cable
MLB.TV carries the game outside San Diego and Denver. In market, both clubs offer direct-to-consumer streaming of their regional broadcasts, and Fubo and DirecTV Stream carry the regional networks in their home territories.
