Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

The big question for the Rockies will be how well Anthony Senzatela pitches and it’s what is going to end up deciding this game. The Diamondbacks are going to get a good start from Kelly and even though he gave up three runs in his last start he is going to lockdown here. The Rockies are averaging 4.22 runs per game and they are going to really struggle here. Senzatela might have a decent start but he’s not going to be lights out and the Diamondbacks will come out on top. Back the Diamondbacks on the run line to cash here.
