The Arizona Diamondbacks (18-28) and Colorado Rockies (16-29) play the second of a three-game set Saturday at Coors Field with a 3:10 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Madison Bumgarner is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 4-3 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 10.2 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 47 2/3 IP through 9 starts.
Bumgarner tied his shortest outing of the season Monday at the Dodgers, allowing two runs, two hits and a season-high four walks with five strikeouts across just four innings in a loss.
He allowed one run, four hits and a walk over five innings in a win over the Rockies April 30 in his last start against Colorado.
RHP Antonio Senzatela is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-4 with a 5.18 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 5.4 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 41 2/3 IP through 8 starts.
Senzatela posted just his third quality start in eight outings this season when he allowed one run, four hits and a walk over seven innings in a no-decision against the Cincinnati Reds.
One of those quality starts came against the Diamondbacks back on April 7 when he fired eight scoreless innings in a win.

Money line (ML)
The DIAMONDBACKS (-115) are worth playing lightly as slight road favorites at Coors Field.
MadBum has actually been a little better on the road this season, posting 34 strikeouts across 31 innings in six starts with a .188 opponent batting average vs. .238 at home.
He is so-so against the Rox, going 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two starts this season, but he has yet to serve up a homer to them.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The ROCKIES +1.5 (-155) are worth playing on the run line at home, as they won’t cost you a ton.
They’re coming off an impressive 7-1 victory at Coors in the series opener, and the Rockies are a respectable 4-2 across their past six at home.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 11 (-105) is the play here, as a double-digit total with Bumgarner and Senzatela on the bump is just a little too high.
The Under is actually 5-2 across Senzatela’s past seven starts, including a head-to-head matchup April 7 against Bumgarner at Coors Field.
