Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction
The Diamondbacks are 9-2 in their last 11 meetings against the Rockies, and are 4-1 in their last 5 visits in Colorado. Under is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -190 road favorites. The Dbacks destroyed the Rockies yesterday, but they are putting Pfaadt on the mound, and he had a really bad stretch last month, and he has been much weaker on the road, with a 6.55 ERA. He has also been torched in his two starts against the Rockies, with 7 earned runs in 10 innings pitched across two starts. I certainly don’t trust Gordon for the Rockies, who has been atrocious lately, with a grand total of 23 earned runs in just 9.4 innings pitched across his last three starts. The Rockies have the second-worst bullpen ERA in the league, while the Dbacks have the 6th-best offense. I expect a ton of runs, so take the over 12 in this one.
