Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Rockies have had issues stringing wins together and Lorenzen isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to get behind with his 7.03 ERA and 1.91 WHIP through 48.2 innings. Gallen is better than what he’s shown this season and he’s owned the Rockies throughout his career. Gallen has also been at his best at home this season with a 2.70 ERA and a .238 allowed batting average in 26.2 innings. All of Gallen’s issues this season have come on the road. Give me the Diamondbacks.
