Prediction
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 3
Money line (ML)
The Diamondbacks (-110) have won four in a row and have suddenly been hitting the ball. The Rockies (100) have a run differential that is 50 runs worse than the Diamondbacks. Take the DIAMONDBACKS (-110).
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Diamondbacks to win returns a profit of $9.09.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
While the Diamondbacks are favored to win outright, the run line has the Rockies favored at -1.5 (+150) and the Diamondbacks +1.5 (-182). The Rockies could not cover either game of the doubleheader between these two teams on Friday and appear to be checked out, getting ready for the season’s end. Since we believe the Diamondbacks will win outright, definitely take them to cover. Take the DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-182).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 9 runs for Saturdays’ tilt. Both teams have an Over percentage under .500. Between Weaver’s improved pitching and Marquez’ consistency, take the UNDER 9 (-110).
