The Rockies have split their last 10 games when scoring four or more runs. Charlie Blackmon leads the Rockies with 45 hits and 24 RBI while Trevor Story and Nolan Arenado have combined for 62 hits and 36 RBI. Jon Gray gets the ball, and he is 1-3 with a 6.23 ERA and 16 strikeouts this season. Gray is 3-5 with a 5.74 ERA and 52 strikeouts in his career against the Diamondbacks.

The Rockies are 15-37 in their last 52 road games, 1-4 in their last 5 vs. National League West and 1-5 in their last 6 during game 3 of a series. The Diamondbacks are 7-1 in their last 8 home games, 0-4 in their last 4 games as a favorite and 0-6 in their last 6 games on grass. The under is 5-1 in Rockies last 6 road games.

In 185 at bats against current Rockies hitters, Ray is allowing a .335 batting average and .387 OBP. The only way to pick this game for me is to side with the over, as both of these pitchers have been dog food for opposing hitters. We’re going to see some fireworks tonight.
