Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. I don’t trust Merrill Kelly’s game on the road at Coors as Kelly has been a hard pitcher to trust season long. On the flipside, Mason Adams has had big time issues of his own, and I think that this ends up being a high-scoring game between these two so give me the over here.
