Rockies vs Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side, but the thing is that I don’t trust Crismatt here, even if he’s in an opener role, and you transition more to Arizona’s bullpen. Colorado has had a shaky pitching staff all season long, but the offense on both sides really started to click on Saturday. I think this is going to be a bit of a bring your glove to the ballpark kind of game, so give me the over here.
