Rockies vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Diamondbacks are the obvious play with the way they’re playing and with the Rockies being one of the worst teams ever. However, I’m looking at the over instead of laying crazy prices. Rodriguez hasn’t been good this season, and that includes allowing 20 hits and 12 runs in his last 16.1 innings. Blalock has a 7.89 ERA and 1.71 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 13 hits and 12 runs in his last 10.1 innings. Throw in Coors, and we could see a ridiculous amount of runs. Give me the over in this spot.
