Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction
The Diamondbacks are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Rockies and have won their last three visits in Colorado.
In this Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -185 road favorites. The Dbacks are still in the mix for the NL wild card spot and have won four straight games. They have the pitching edge today with Eduardo Rodriguez and his 15-7 record, 2.89 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. He looks to bounce back after a terrible start and has been better on the road with a 7-1 record and 2.45 ERA, while Tanner Gordon has been in terrible form, having given up 16 runs across his last three starts. The Dbacks also have a better bullpen to relief Rodriguez, so I expect them to win this one on the road.
