Rockies at Diamondbacks: Projected starting pitchers
RHP Jon Gray vs. LHP Robbie Ray
Gray has pitched 30 1/3 innings over six starts and has registered a 6.23 ERA.
- The 28-year-old has fanned just 4.7 batters per nine in 2020. Velocity is down a couple of clicks; hard contact is up a couple of clicks.
- Gray owns a terrible line against Arizona. The Diamondbacks have clubbed him around to the tune of a .955 OPS in over 150 PA. He clocked a shaky start against the Snakes on Aug. 10 (11H allowed in 3 1/3 IP).
Ray has endured major control problems that have fed into an 8.33 ERA through 27 IP.
- The Arizona lefty has walked 11 batters over his last two turns (10 IP) and owns an 8.3 walks-per-nine-innings rate on the year.
- Current Colorado bats have punished Ray in the past to the tune of an 1.168 OPS and .343 isolated power.

Rockies at Diamondbacks: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips
MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Moneyline (ML)
The Arizona side has taken on the early wagering. In the concept of cluster luck — the favorable or unfavorable distribution of base runners on both offense and defense — no team has benefited as much as Arizona in 2020.
For Wednesday, the ROCKIES (+120) play is worth watching; there’s a lean toward Colorado, especially at +125. New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on the Rockies returns a profit of $12.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
ROCKIES +1.5 (-167)/DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+140) are the lines, and the market has this one well middled. AVOID.
Over/Under (O/U)
This total is odd. The starting pitchers at career norms would be an 8-8.5. Go the way of the last eight series meetings in this yard (1-7 Over/Under record). TAKE THE UNDER 10 (-110).
