Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction

The Diamondbacks are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Rockies, and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Colorado.

In this Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -180 road favorites. I will not lay such a big price with the Dbacks on the road, as they have been below average away from Arizona, and I don’t trust Rodriguez at all. He has 5 earned runs in two of his last three starts, and also had 5 earned runs in his previous start against the Rockies this season. Blalock has been absolutely terrible at home for the Rockies, with a 11.76 ERA in four road starts, and he also has given up 5 runs in his only start against the Dbacks this season. The Rockies have a terrible bullpen, while the Dbacks have an elite offense and are even better against right-handed pitching, in a game played at Coors Field. I expect a ton of runs, so take the over 12 in this one.
