The Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Coors Field. On Friday it was the Rockies that were able to pick up a 5-3 victory. 

Arizona comes into this game with a 51-61 record overall and they have lost two of their last three games. The Diamondbacks' offense has been inconsistent, but one thing that has been mostly consistent has been bad pitching. The Diamondbacks are giving up 4.52 runs per game which is 23rd in the league. Christian Walker has been the top offensive player hitting 26 home runs and driving in 63 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Rockies who sit with a 51-64 record overall and they were able to pick up that win on Friday. The Rockies offense can score, but their pitching hasn’t kept them in a ton of games. The Rockies are giving up 5.39 runs per game which is 29th in the league. If the Rockies want to win this game, they are going to need a good start from Jose Urena. 

On the mound for the Diamondbacks is Zac Gallen who sits with a 7-2 record and an ERA of 3.12. In his last start against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he went seven innings giving up three hits and zero runs. 

On the mound for the Rockies is Jose Urena who sits with a 1-3 record and an ERA of 4.63. In his last start against the Arizona Diamondbacks he went six innings giving up seven hits and three runs.

The Rockies are 4-1 in their last five games against a right-handed starter. The over is 6-1 in the Rockies last seven games as an underdog. The Rockies are 0-4 in Urena’s last four starts. 

The Rockies have lost the last four starts by Urena, and it’s going to be no different in this game. Urena sits with an ERA of 4.63 and this is going to be one of those games where the Diamondbacks offense is going to look very good. Gallen is coming off a start where he gave up zero runs, and the Rockies bats will be cold here. Back the Diamondbacks.
