The Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies meet Saturday in MLB action at Coors Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored 15 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 8 of their last 10 games. The Diamondbacks are 11-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Corbin Carroll leads the Diamondbacks with 29 hits and 8 RBI, while Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Ketel Marte have combined for 51 hits and 20 RBI. Tommy Henry gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 6.23 ERA and 1 strikeout this season. This will be Henry’s second career game against the Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies have scored 7 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 7 of their last 10 games. The Rockies are 1-13 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Kris Bryant leads the Rockies with 29 hits and 8 RBI, while Charlie Blackmon and Elias Diaz have combined for 48 hits and 17 RBI. Noah Davis gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 0.93 ERA and 10 strikeouts this season. This will be Davis’ first career game against the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks are 20-42 in their last 62 Saturday games and 52-106 in their last 158 road games. The Rockies are 7-19 in their last 26 games on grass and 7-19 in their last 26 overall. The under is 4-0 in Diamondbacks last 4 overall. The under is 4-0 in Rockies last 4 overall. The Diamondbacks are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings in Colorado.
Two inexperienced pitchers on the mound, so this is a bit of a pick em spot that you can’t feel great about. The main difference is the Diamondbacks have a pulse offensively and find ways to win. The Rockies bats have been quiet all year, and they’re off to a terrible start overall. Give me the Diamondbacks, a team that can put up crooked numbers.
