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.

Gallen (7-2, 3.12 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 118 1/3 IP.

Allowed just 3 H and 2 BB with 8 K across 7 scoreless IP in a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday.

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.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (35-42) face the Colorado Rockies (33-44) in the 2nd game of their 3-game series Saturday night in Denver. First pitch is 9:10 p.m. ET at Coors Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 3-1

The Diamondbacks won Friday’s series opener 9-3, ending a 3-game road losing streak. They have won 3 of their last 4 games.

LHP Dallas Keuchel vs. LHP Austin Gomber

Keuchel (2-5, 7.93 ERA) makes his 10th start overall and 2nd for Arizona after starting the season with the Chicago White Sox. He has a 2.15 WHIP, 5.7 BB/9 and 6.7 K/9 through 36 1/3 IP.

Over/Under (O/U): 12.5 (O: -122 | U: -102)

Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 8, Diamondbacks 4

Money line

The last time the Diamondbacks won 2 straight road games was June 8-9 against the Cincinnati Reds. They are 16-20 on the road this season.

The Rockies are 2-2 on this homestand and, as mentioned, lost 2 straight at Coors Field after winning 5 in a row.

This is a tough pick because both Keuchel and Gomber have struggled this season.

While I don’t trust the Diamondbacks on the road, Saturday’s result will come down to their offense. They are 16-2 in the last 18 games in which they scored at least 5 runs.

Take the ROCKIES (-150).

Run line/Against the spread

Twelve of the Diamondbacks’ last 14 losses have been by 2 or more runs. However, they are 22-14 ATS on the road and 21-13 ATS as road underdogs.

Meanwhile, the Rockies are 21-21 ATS at home.

Keuchel has struggled all season and pitches for the first time in Coors Field with the thin air. He will allow some runs.

Take the ROCKIES -1.5 (+122).

Over/Under

Expecting an Arizona loss, that means they likely will not reach 5 runs. Of their 42 losses, they have reached 5 runs only 6 times and 6 of their last 8 losses have had 11 runs or fewer.

Only 2 of the last 23 games for the Rockies had 13 or more runs.

Take UNDER 12.5 (-102).

Arizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Arizona Diamondbacks (34-42) open a 3-game weekend road series Friday against the Colorado Rockies (33-43). First pitch for the opener is 8:10 p.m. ET at Coors Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Arizona leads the season series 2-1.

The Diamondbacks are coming off a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres to give them a 2-game series split. They have only 2 wins in their last 8 games.

The Rockies took 2 of 3 games at home against the Dodgers, but are 3-6 in their last 9 games.

Diamondbacks at Rockies projected starters

RHP Merrill Kelly vs. RHP Antonio Senzatela

Kelly (6-5, 3.64 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 84 IP.

Beat Rockies 4-1 May 6 with 8 2/3 IP, 1 R, 7 H, 2 BB and 8 K.
Two starts ago he pitched 7 innings of 1-run ball, but he has a 4.74 ERA in his last 3 starts.

Senzatela (3-4, 4.66 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.78 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 5.1 K/9 in 58 IP.

Over/Under (O/U): 11.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 3

Money line

The Rockies have found their mojo at home again, having won 5 of their last 6 at Coors Field. The Diamondbacks are 15-20 on the road and have dropped 9 of their last 11 games away from home.

Kelly has not been as sharp as he was in the first 2 months of the season and Senzatela is a much better pitcher at home than on the road.

Take the ROCKIES (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS on the run line, as the Rockies are favored on the money line and underdogs on the run line.

At -180 odds for the Rockies to cover, it makes much more sense to bet them on the money line to win outright.

Over/Under

When the Diamondbacks lose, it is because they do not score 5 runs. Of their 42 losses, they have reached 5 runs only 6 times, so it would take a lot of runs by the Rockies to get the total to 12 or more.

The Rockies’ last game hit 12 runs but none of the previous 7 did and only 3 of their last 13 games have.

Six of Arizona’s last 8 losses have had 11 or fewer runs.

Take UNDER 11.5 (-105).

Coors Field has the fifth-lowest Over percentage at 44.3%.

LHP Madison Bumgarner is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 4-3 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 10.2 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 47 2/3 IP through 9 starts.

Bumgarner tied his shortest outing of the season Monday at the Dodgers, allowing two runs, two hits and a season-high four walks with five strikeouts across just four innings in a loss.

He allowed one run, four hits and a walk over five innings in a win over the Rockies April 30 in his last start against Colorado.

RHP Antonio Senzatela is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-4 with a 5.18 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 5.4 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 41 2/3 IP through 8 starts.

Senzatela posted just his third quality start in eight outings this season when he allowed one run, four hits and a walk over seven innings in a no-decision against the Cincinnati Reds.

One of those quality starts came against the Diamondbacks back on April 7 when he fired eight scoreless innings in a win.

Money line: Diamondbacks -115 (bet $115 to win $100) | Rockies -105 (bet $105 to win $100)

Over/Under: 11 (Over -115 | Under -105)

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4

Money line (ML)

The DIAMONDBACKS (-115) are worth playing lightly as slight road favorites at Coors Field.

MadBum has actually been a little better on the road this season, posting 34 strikeouts across 31 innings in six starts with a .188 opponent batting average vs. .238 at home.

He is so-so against the Rox, going 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two starts this season, but he has yet to serve up a homer to them.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The ROCKIES +1.5 (-155) are worth playing on the run line at home, as they won’t cost you a ton.

They’re coming off an impressive 7-1 victory at Coors in the series opener, and the Rockies are a respectable 4-2 across their past six at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 11 (-105) is the play here, as a double-digit total with Bumgarner and Senzatela on the bump is just a little too high.

The Under is actually 5-2 across Senzatela’s past seven starts, including a head-to-head matchup April 7 against Bumgarner at Coors Field.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

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

The Arizona Diamondbacks (18-27) head to Coors Field Friday to start a three-game set with the host Colorado Rockies (15-29) at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Arizona has lost five straight, eight of nine and hasn’t won a series since beating Colorado 3-1 April 29-May 1. The D-Backs are just 5-15 in their last 20 games.

Colorado has also dropped five straight, haven’t won a series since taking two of three vs. the San Francisco Giants May 4-5 and is just 6-14 in the last 20.

Season series: D-Backs 4-3.

RHP Seth Frankoff is on the hill for the Diamondbacks. Frankoff picked up a no-decision in his first big league start Saturday against the Washington Nationals. He pitched 4 2/3 IP with 2 ER, 3 H, 4 BB and 4 K in Arizona’s 11-4 win vs. the Nationals.

RHP German Márquez is the projected starter for the Rockies. Márquez is 2-4 with a 5.56 ERA (45 1/3 IP, 28 ER), 1.68 WHIP, 5.4 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 over nine starts.

Last outing: Win, 9-6, in 6 IP with 4 ER, 8 H, 3 BB and 8 K last Friday vs. the Cincinnati Reds.
Career vs. the D-Backs: 4-5 with a 4.26 ERA (99 1/3 IP, 47 ER), 1.34 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 across 17 starts and one bullpen outing.
- Vs. D-Backs on the current roster: 174 at-bats with a .333/.378/.592 slash line, 44/12 K/BB, 9 HR and 32 RBIs.

Diamondbacks at Rockies odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Money line: Diamondbacks +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Rockies -150 (bet $150 to win $100)
Against the spread/ATS: Diamondbacks +1.5 (-140) | Rockies -1.5 (+115)
Over/Under: 11 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Rockies, 8, Diamondbacks 5

Money line (ML)

Slight “LEAN” to the ROCKIES (-150) for a quarter unit because the major takeaway from Frankoff’s profile is the fact that he’s a 32-year-old making his second start in the Majors and the presumed “sharp” money is on Colorado.

It’s tough to project Frankoff’s outing Friday given the little Major League. data we have on him, and for what it’s worth, Márquez is one of Colorado’s “top of the rotation” guys.

Furthermore, more money has been wagered on the Rockies while more actual bets have been placed on the D-Backs, according to Pregame.com.

Typically, it’s more profitable in sports gambling to follow the money, especially when it’s flowing in the opposite direction of the crowd.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because Colorado has an 8-15 run line record as a home favorite since the beginning of last season and the Rockies -1.5 (+115) is too measly of a payout in the face of that trend.

My “lean” towards Colorado has mostly to do with Márquez having decent stuff and not knowing what we’ll see from Frankoff.

But, both lineups and bullpens are equally as bad. Colorado’s run line should have at least a +130 payout, in my opinion.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 11 (-115) for a half unit since we are getting the worst of the number as the market has barreled into the Over, steaming it up from the 10.5-run opener.

However, this is still the launching pad of Coors Field, both bullpens get nuked on a regular occasion, the Rockies have a 6-3 O/U record in Márquez starts and the Over has cashed in seven of the past 10 Rockies-Diamondbacks meetings.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

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

The Arizona Diamondbacks (2-4) visit the Colorado Rockies (2-4) for a Thursday game at 3:10 p.m. ET at Coors Field. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Merrill Kelly is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He made five starts last year, logging a 2.59 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 8.3 K/9, and 1.4 BB/9 in 31 1/3 IP. In his 2021 debut against the San Diego Padres, Kelly yielded 3 runs over 4 frames.

RHP Jon Gray is the projected starter for the Rockies. In eight starts last season, Gray went 2-4 with a 6.69 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 5.1 K/9, and 2.5 BB/9 over 39 IP. He struck out 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers while allowing 1 run in 5 IP Saturday. Gray left that game in the sixth with full-body cramps.

Diamondbacks at Rockies odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 8:25 a.m. ET.

Money line: Diamondbacks +105 (bet $100 to win $105) | Rockies -125 (bet $125 to win $100)
Against the spread/ATS: Diamondbacks +1.5 (-165) | Rockies -1.5 (+140)
Over/Under: 11 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Rockies 5, Diamondbacks 4

Money line (ML)

Both starting pitchers have plenty of warts. Gray has a .932 OPS allowed against current Arizona batters and is an injury concern; Kelly has a 7.71 ERA in two starts at Coors Field and is a slow starter. It’s a side you may not want to touch with a 10-foot pole.

If you have an 11-foot pole, consider COLORADO (-125). Gray looked good enough in his debut to warrant the Rockies being a near-55% proposition against a Snakes team that went just 9-21 away from Phoenix last season.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Neither bullpen is worthy of much attention. It is a Coors Field game, but a wind-in one with two offenses not exactly running on all cylinders early. PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

There is some risk with these starters and the relief corps that follow them, but there is a bit of value to be had on the underside of this total. Thin Denver air is thin Denver air, but it’s not hot yet (temps in the 60s for this one), and a pitcher’s breeze is in the forecast.

With a small measure of play on Gray and a bit of a fade of the Rockies and D-Backs bats, TAKE THE UNDER 11 (+100).
