The Arizona Diamondbacks (83-67) and Colorado Rockies (58-93) meet for the 2nd game of a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Coors Field is set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Diamondbacks lead 8-3
Colorado escaped with a 3-2 win over Arizona Monday, covering as a +158 home underdog. Colorado CF Brenton Doyle scored the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning thanks to a throwing error by Arizona SS Geraldo Perdomo. The Rockies trailed 2-0 after the 1st inning but tied it with solo homers from SS Ezequiel Tovar in the 4th and C Hunter Goodman in the 7th.
Arizona is still a team that is very much fighting for a playoff spot, so losses like Monday’s hurt this team badly. The D-backs are still more than 80% likely to make it to the postseason. They sit in the 2nd NL Wild Card spot, 1 game ahead of the New York Mets and 2 games in front of the Atlanta Braves.

Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 5
Moneyline
LEAN DIAMONDBACKS (-155).
Arizona is 5-1 in its last 6 matchups vs. Colorado and, as mentioned, leads the season series 8-3.
This is a lean because Colorado is the slightly hotter team, being 4-1 in its last 5, while Arizona is 1-3 in its last 4, and because the Rockies are 2-1 in the last 3 meetings between these squads in Colorado.
Run line/Against the spread
BET ROCKIES +1.5 (-115).
Colorado has finished within 1 run of the Diamondbacks in 3 of its last 5 losses in this matchup. The Rockies are also 39-32 ATS as the home squad this season, 2nd-best in the majors only behind Kansas City (42-34).
Be aware that this is a risky bet because both squads have been solid ATS this season and because the Diamondbacks are the better team and are fighting for a playoff spot and seeding. So, they should give it everything they have in this matchup.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 11.5 (-110).
The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Colorado and is 6-4 in its last 10. The Under has also hit in each of the last 3 meetings between these squads in Colorado and is 4-1-1 in the last 6 matchups overall.
This is a lean because the Over is 2-1 in Arizona’s last 3 overall and 3-1 in its last 4 at home.
