Diamondbacks Look to Bounce Back

The Diamondbacks are averaging 5.49 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.87 runs per game. The offense is ranked 1st in the league while the pitching is ranked 27th. This is a team that can really score, but the pitching isn’t exactly elite. They have a run differential of 0.63 which is 6th in the league. Getting the start for the Diamondbacks will be Eduardo Rodriguez who sits with a 2-3 record and an ERA of 5.50. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, he went five innings giving up five hits and two runs. 

Rockies Offense Looks for Another Strong Game

The Rockies on Tuesday scored eight runs and that was enough for the victory. Ryan Feltner went 6.2 innings giving up five hits and one run. The Rockies are averaging 4.19 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.68 runs per game. The offense is ranked 20th in the league while the pitching is ranked 30th. Ezequiel Tovar has hit 25 home runs and driven in 70 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Rockies will be Austin Gomber who sits with a 5-10 record and an ERA of 4.44. In his last start against the Chicago Cubs, he went six innings giving up nine hits and two runs. 

Why the Rockies Will Beat the Diamondbacks 

  • The Rockies have won five of their last six games as underdogs against National League opponents.
  • The Diamondbacks have lost four of their last five games as favorites against National League opponents.
  • The Rockies have covered the run line in seven of their last eight home games against NL West opponents.
  • The Diamondbacks have failed to cover the run line in each of their last five games as favorites.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

This is a great spot to take the Rockies. Gomber’s ERA isn’t actually all that high for pitching at Coors Field, and he’s going to have a strong start here. Rodriguez hasn’t been great for the Diamondbacks, and he sits with an ERA of 5.50. The Rockies have been inconsistent, but they are going to find success scoring here, and that will be enough for the Rockies to get the job done. Back the Rockies.
