Rockies vs Diamondbacks prediction
Tommy Henry has been a mixed bag through 2 seasons, so who knows what we’re going to get. However, who cares? The Rockies have been absolutely terrible through 2 games, and they’ve given bettors very little to be excited about. Sure, it’s only 2 games, but it’s been 2 ugly games. I don’t care about the pitching matchup or what the numbers say, the Rockies have been dreadful. Give me the Diamondbacks and the RL for max betting value.
