Money line (ML)

The Rockies snapped the Diamondbacks’ three-game win streak Friday and extended their own win streak to four games. They have won eight in a row at Coors Field, and nine of their last 10 games there, and are tied with the San Francisco Giants for the most home wins with 42.

Arizona is tied for the worst road record in baseball at 14-46. It has dropped its last five on the road. The D-Backs are 1-6 in Colorado this season and have only one win in Gallen’s starts since April.

Take the ROCKIES (-155).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Diamondbacks are now 61-62 ATS overall and 25-35 ATS on the road, the second-worst mark in the majors. Nine of their 12 losses in Gallen’s starts have been by at least 2 runs and five of their last six losses overall have been by 2 or more runs.

13 of the Rockies’ last 15 wins have been by 2 or more runs. Their 41-22 ATS record at home is the best in the majors.

This is an easy call. Take the ROCKIES -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under (O/U)

The first game in the series went Over 11.5 but it was only the second time in the last nine games for the Diamondbacks to finish with a total of 12 or more.

The Diamondbacks, though, have the seventh-highest Over percentage in baseball at 54.6%.

Coors Field has the fifth-lowest Over percentage at 44.3%.

Take UNDER 11.5 (-120).
