Rockies vs Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. Gordon has an ERA over 20 in his last three starts and just got demolished by the Diamondbacks in his last start, while Pfaadt just pitched against Colorado and did pitch well, but also allowed 11 hits in that start. I think he was lucky to get away with as little damage as he did in that game. I’ll side with the over here, as I think the bats come alive once again, and we get a little more offense from Colorado here to chip in towards this total. Give me the over in this game.
