Moneyline
Gallen has been fantastic in 2 starts this season, while Freeland has struggled in both of his. The Diamondbacks (-185) have beaten Colorado in 14 of the last 18 meetings, and Gallen is 7-1 in his career against it.
I like the Diamondbacks to win, but it isn’t a good bet at -185.
PASS.

The Diamondbacks’ last 7 wins over the Rockies have been by 2 or more runs.
Six of the Rockies’ 8 losses this season have been by 2 or more runs.
