Prediction
Rockies 7, Diamondbacks 4
Moneyline (ML)
The Rockies are favored at -129 as the NL West Division leaders against Arizona (+115), who is last in the NL West. Ray has struggled and the Arizona offense has as well. Take the ROCKIES (-129).
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Rockies to win returns a profit of $7.75.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Colorado is favored at -1 (+105). It is a strange line because the Rockies are favored to win, but the D-Backs are -125 to cover the +1. I don’t see it. Basically, the Diamondbacks only win when Zac Gallen or Merrill Kelly start. Ray just hasn’t put things together. Take the ROCKIES -1 (+105) to win by at least 2 runs.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 11.5 runs, with -110 on either side. Both Arizona and Colorado hit the Under more often the Over in their games (the Diamondbacks are 6-10 O/U, while the Rockies are 6-9-1 O/U). With Arizona’s struggles scoring runs, go with the UNDER 11.5 (-110).
