Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. These are two starters I don’t trust as Kelly’s been getting rocked for much of the season and Kyle Freeland has had a lot of issues in his career against the Diamondbacks with an ERA just short of eight in his last five starts against them. I think you can bring a glove to the ballpark in this one, so give me the over here.
