Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Colorado Rockies have found their offensive spark over the last few days, but they're still a bad baseball team, and they're not making bettors money either. The Arizona Diamondbacks have put themselves in the NL West race with this recent surge, and this is a series at home that they should take advantage of. I want little to do with the Rockies, especially against good teams. Give me the Diamondbacks and the RL for max betting value.
