Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction
The Rockies have been dreadful on the road this season, and that makes for an ideal matchup for a Diamondbacks team that’s trying to close in on a playoff spot. Sugano has a 5.13 ERA and .269 allowed batting average on the road through 52.2 innings. Bratt can be hit or miss, but it doesn’t matter. The Rockies are dirt and not a team I’m excited to back. I’m rolling with the Diamondbacks and will lay the RL to shave down the price.
