Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

Even though the Diamondbacks should cruise to a win on the road on Monday, AVOID wagering on the moneyline in this contest.

Run line/Against the spread

While taking any team to win by 3 or more runs is risky, it’s worth taking DIAMONDBACKS -2.5 (+100) with Kelly expected to start for Arizona. Kelly looked great in his last start vs. the Dodgers before being pulled due to cramps in his leg.

In 4 of their 6 wins against the Rockies this season, the Diamondbacks have won by at least 3 runs.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 11.5 (-110).

The Diamondbacks should have no issues producing runs on Flexen in this game, but it’s hard to see the Rockies plating enough runs to hit the Over. Arizona is 2-7-1 to the Over in its last 10 games overall, and the Under is 3-0 in the last 3 meetings.

New York Mets at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Mets at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Mets (40-46) will conclude a 3-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (50-37) on Thursday at Chase Field. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mets lead 2-0

In Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks, the Mets scored both of their runs in the top of the 9th inning. New York is currently on a 4-game winning streak, though they remain 18 games back in the NL East race.

The Diamondbacks have now lost 3 straight games following Wednesday’s loss. Arizona is 4-6 in its last 10 contests and is only 1 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West.

Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Mets 3

Moneyline

The Mets have won the 1st 2 games of the series, but I’ll back the DIAMONDBACKS (-130) to avoid the sweep on Thursday. Nelson has looked better in recent starts and Carrasco has mightily struggled this season.

Run line/Against the spread

DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+145) has solid value at the current odds with Carrasco pitching for the Mets. Arizona has won by multiple runs in each of its last 9 wins.

The Diamondbacks also have the 6th-best ISO (.181) and are tied for the 4th-best wOBA (.335). They also own the 8th-best wRC+ (107) against right-handed pitching this season.

[anyclip pubname=”2129″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8190″]

The New York Mets (39-46) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (50-36) on Wednesday at Chase Field. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mets lead 1-0 after winning the series opener 8-5 on Tuesday

The Mets got home runs from OF Starling Marte, OF Brandon Nimmo, and C Francisco Alvarez in Tuesday’s victory. New York has won 3 consecutive games, but it remains 18 games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.

While the Diamondbacks lost the series open, it was a positive sign to see OF Corbin Carroll back in the lineup, who hit his 18th homer of the season. Arizona has recorded a 4-6 record in its last 10 contests but is still 2 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West.

Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (-105) are my bet in Wednesday’s NL showdown despite the Mets winning 3 games in a row. Arizona is 24-21 at home compared to New York owning a 19-27 record on the road this season.

The Mets are also 1-5 in their last 6 games against a left-handed starter.

Run line/Against the spread

DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-165) is the play for those that aren’t comfortable taking Arizona to win outright. Senga struggles with walks and that could be costly against a Diamondbacks squad that has the 4th-most steals (83) in baseball.

Over/Under

UNDER 9.5 (-105) is the lean in this game despite the 1st game of the series hitting the Over. The Mets are 4-1-2 to the Under in their last 7 overall and the Diamondbacks are 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 overall.

Rays at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Rays 5

Moneyline

With both teams not having one of their top pitchers on the mound, I’ll side with the DIAMONDBACKS (-110) at home to close out the series. The Diamondbacks are 11-2 in their last 13 games against a pitcher with a WHIP higher than 1.30.

Run line/Against the spread

Unless you can get the Diamondbacks to cover the run line at -160 or better, I’ll PASS on wagering on the spread in this potential World Series preview.

Over/Under

With Littell and Pfaadt pitching, OVER 10 (-105) is an enticing bet. The Diamondbacks have posted 5-plus runs in 8 of their last 9 games, while the Rays have the 2nd-best ISO (.194), the 2nd-best wOBA (.343), and the best wRC+ (125) against right-handed pitching this season.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings overall and 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Arizona.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

With May seemingly having a chance to pitch deeper into games, I’ll back the DODGERS (-155) in this NL West bout. Los Angeles also has plenty of success when facing Kelly on the mound.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (+105) has decent value as they have the advantage on the mound for Thursday night. The Dodgers are also 41-12 in the last 53 meetings, and we only need them to win by 2-plus runs to cover the spread.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-115) is the pick in this game with May limiting the lineup of the Diamondbacks. There were 3 or fewer runs scored in 2 of the first 4 meetings between these teams to begin the season.

The Under is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings in Arizona and 12-3 in the last 15 meetings overall.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arizona Diamondbacks take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Opening Day on Thursday to start a 4-game series at Dodger Stadium. First pitch will take place at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: This is the 1st meeting of 2023. The Dodgers went 14-5 against the Diamondbacks in 2022.

Arizona posted a 74-88 record while finishing 4th in the NL West last season. The Diamondbacks are expected to have their young OFs Corbin Carroll and Jake McCarthy lead the way in the lineup in 2023.

The Dodgers notched an impressive 111-51 record in 2022, but lost in the NL Division Series to the San Diego Padres. Los Angeles is tied for the 3rd-best odds to win the World Series this season with the New York Yankees.

Diamondbacks at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers are expected to begin the season with a win, but taking them straight up at the current odds (-170) isn’t worth doing. I’m fine taking Los Angeles in parlays at the current odds, though.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (+130) has some value with Los Angeles having plenty of success against Arizona in recent years. The Dodgers are 39-12 against the Diamondbacks in the last 51 meetings and getting them to win by 2-plus runs at plus odds is worth the value.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 7 (-122) is the selection in this NL West matchup despite it being cooler weather than usual in Los Angeles. Gallen and Urias are on the mound, but teams will likely ease starters into their usual workload as the season progresses.

Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 3

Money line

The DIAMONDBACKS (-155) are moderate favorites, and they’re a great play with their best starting pitcher on the bump. Conversely, the Rockies (+125) are expected to have a difficult time with Urena on the hill. He has been very giving this season, although he did handle the Snakes well last time out.

Run line/Against the spread

The DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (-103) are worth playing on the run line at even money, as they look for revenge after dropping the series opener. The D-Backs have won 4 straight starts by Gallen, and they have won each of those starts by at least 2 runs.

Over/Under

The UNDER 11.5 (-110) is always a risky play in games at Coors Field, but Colorado will have a difficult time getting the bats going against Gallen. The Under connected in Friday’s series opener, and it will cash again Saturday, too.

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (37-47) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (37-47) play the third contest in a 4-game set Saturday at Chase Field in Phoenix. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Rockies lead series 5-3

The Rockies have won the first 2 games of this series, and 4 in a row against the Diamondbacks overall. However, each of the past 3 victories over the D-Backs have been 1-run games.

The Diamondbacks have dropped 3 games in a row, and 5 of the past 7 outings overall. Arizona is just 25-69 in the past 94 games inside the NL West division.

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks projected starters

LHP Kyle Freeland vs. LHP Madison Bumgarner

Freeland (4-6, 4.43 ERA) makes his 17th start of the season. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 through 91 1/3 IP.

Is 1-3 with a 3.40 ERA with a .235 opponent batting average across 39 2/3 IP over 7 road outings.
Allowed 5 H and 2 BB with 5 K across 6 scoreless IP in a no-decision May 7 in his first start of the season against the D-Backs in Arizona.

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:35 a.m. ET.

Money line (ML): Rockies +105 (bet $100 to win $105) | Diamondbacks -130 (bet $130 to win $100)
Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Rockies +1.5 (-190) | Diamondbacks -1.5 (+155)
Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: +100 | U: -125)

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Rockies 3

Money line

The DIAMONDBACKS (-130) are a solid play at home, looking to end the mastery of the Rockies (+105) in this series lately.

Colorado has won four in a row against Arizona, but it is just 3-8 in the past 11 games on the road against a left-handed starting pitcher.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Rockies +1.5 (-190) are just a little too expensive for my liking despite the fact they’ve dominated in this series lately. If you like Colorado, just play it straight up, although that’s not recommended.

Over/Under

The UNDER 9.5 (-125) is the play.

The Under is 4-1-1 in the previous 6 meetings in Arizona, although that lone Over result was in Friday’s 6-5 win by Colorado.

The Under is 6-2-1 in the previous 9 road outings for Colorado while going 3-1-1 in the past 5 on the road vs. LHP.

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (35-47) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (37-45) open a 4-game series Thursday at Chase Field in Phoenix. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Season series tied 3-3

The Rockies picked up a pair of wins in a 3-game set against the Diamondbacks July 1-3 in Denver. Colorado was unable to carry over the momentum into Los Angeles, suffering a 3-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks are coming off an impressive 3-game set against the San Francisco Giants, winning 2 of 3 games, outscoring the Giants 19-12 in the process.

Rockies at Diamondbacks projected starters

LHP Austin Gomber vs. LHP Dallas Keuchel

Gomber (4-7, 6.53 ERA) makes his 14th start, and 16th overall appearance. He has a 1.45 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 6.7 K/9 in 73 IP.

Earned a win last time out against the Diamondbacks Saturday, yielding 4 ER, 6 H and 0 BB with 2 K across 5 2/3 IP.
Is 2-3 with a 6.42 ERA and .252 opponent batting average in 33 2/3 IP across 6 road starts and 8 overall appearances.

Keuchel (2-6, 8.27 ERA) makes his 3rd start with Arizona, and 11th start overall this season. He has a 2.10 WHIP, 5.7 BB/9 and 6.5 K/9 in 41 1/3 IP.

Is 0-1 with a 9.64 ERA and 1.93 WHIP across 9 1/3 IP in 2 starts since joining the Diamondbacks.
Was socked around for 7 R – 6 ER – and 6 H with 3 BB across 5 IP in a loss in Colorado Saturday.

Rockies at Diamondbacks odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:45 a.m. ET.

Money line (ML): Rockies -145 (bet $145 to win $100) | Diamondbacks +120 (bet $100 to win $120)
Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Rockies -1.5 (+110) | Diamondbacks +1.5 (-135)
Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 8, Diamondbacks 5

Money line

The ROCKIES (-145) are moderate favorites on the road, which might be a bit surprising considering the Diamondbacks (+120) are at home. In addition, Arizona leads Colorado by 2 games in the NL West standings. However, Keuchel has been so bad this season that the books expect the Rockies to tee off on the beleaguered southpaw like they did last time out in Denver.

Run line/Against the spread

The ROCKIES -1.5 (-110) are a decent play on the road against Keuchel. While it might seem a bit risky playing the run line on a team that has won just twice in the past 7 games, this team won 11-7 last time Gomber faced Keuchel at Coors Field. Play Colorado, but go lightly.

Over/Under

The OVER 9.5 (-120) is the way to go here. In the 3-game set in Denver, albeit in the rarefied air, Arizona and Colorado averaged 13.7 combined runs per game in the 3-game set. While Chase Field isn’t a Mile High in elevation, the ball still jumps out of the place. The Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 games for the Snakes, and 4-0-1 in the past 5 against teams with a losing record, too.
