Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (0-1) play the 2nd game of a season-opening road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (1-0) Friday night. First pitch from Chase Field is at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 1-0

The season opened terribly for the Rockies Thursday night in a 16-1 loss to the Snakes. Arizona scored 14 runs in the 3rd inning, chasing SP Kyle Freeland after 2 1/3 IP (10 H, 10 ER, 1 BB, 2 K).

Eight Diamondbacks players had at least 2 hits (LF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had 3 H and 5 RBI) as Arizona started the season off with a bang as they try to defend their NL championship.

Rockies at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Cal Quantrill vs. RHP Merrill Kelly

Quantrill is making his debut with the Rockies. He was 4-7 with 5.24 ERA in 2023 for the Cleveland Guardians with a 1.47 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 5.2 K/9 in 99 2/3 IP.

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Rockies were the worst team in baseball on the road in 2023 going 22-59 and the 16-1 loss to open the season doesn’t bode well moving forward.

Arizona won 10 of 13 games over the Rockies last season and went 6-1 against them at home.

There is no reason expect the Rockies to win this, but the -225 odds make betting the Diamondbacks not worth it.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks have covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 wins over the Rockies.

The Rockies were decent on the road at 40-41 ATS, but that was not against Arizona.

Arizona, including their season-opening win on Thursday, is 10-4 ATS against Colorado.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

In the last 18 meetings between the 2 teams, the total has been 9 or higher in 13 of them.

The Diamondbacks scored 16 in the season opener.

BET OVER 9 (-115).

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 5

Moneyline

The Rockies are 9-19 on the road and have been swept 3 times, but have not suffered a 4-game road sweep. The Diamondbacks have not swept a series all season. And for what it’s worth, the Rockies are 5-0 in their last 5 Thursday games.

With Davies only making his 2nd start since coming back from an oblique injury, he will still likely be on a pitch count. This is a game ripe for an upset.

BET ROCKIES (+140).

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies are 25-24 ATS as the underdog this season while Arizona is 15-11 ATS as the favorite.

But Arizona has not swept a team all season and I’m not picking them to do it for the first time in a 4-game series.

And while betting the Rockies on the run line isn’t a bad bet, their last 12 losses are by multiple runs, so if you think they will cover the spread, then they likely are going on win outright, which means the moneyline is a much more profitable wager.

PASS.

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

Over/Under

Four of the 6 games between the Rockies and Diamondbacks have had 10 or more runs. Three of the Rockies’ last 6 road games have had 10 or more runs and 8 of their last 14 overall have had 10 or more total runs.

Also, the Over is 5-1 in the Rockies’ last 6 games following a game scoring 2 or fewer runs.

BET OVER 9.5 (-115).

The Diamondbacks have 27 bullpen losses and 15 blown saves. The Rockies have 11 blown saves and 20 bullpen losses.

The Rockies have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games.

If Sunday’s game follows the script of the last 2 nights, it will come down to the end and 1 bullpen will take the loss.

Take the ROCKIES +1.5 (-150).

Over/Under

Half of Urena’s 6 starts this season have had totals of 9 or more runs. Four of their last 6 games have had 9 or more runs.

The Diamondbacks, before Saturday’s loss, had 4 straight games with 9 or more runs.

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 2

Money line

The Rockies have the fewest road runs in baseball. They have lost 8 of their last 10 games and are facing one of the hottest pitchers in the majors right now in Kelly.

Kelly has been rolling for the last month and has not allowed a run in his last 2 starts.

The Diamondbacks also have been solid against losing teams. They are 31-24 against teams with a .500 record or worse.

But at -190, there’s too much juice for any action on the money line. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies, despite losing 8 of their last 10 games, are 5-5 ATS in that span.

But Arizona is 31-24 ATS at home this season. The Rockies covered the spread in the series opener.

Nine of Arizona’s 11 wins with Kelly on the mound have been by at least 2 runs. Eleven of the Diamondbacks’ last 13 wins have been by 2 or more runs.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

With Kelly absolutely dealing for the last month, don’t expect much from the Colorado bats. His last 4 starts have all had fewer than 8 total runs.

Six of the 11 games between these teams have had 8 or more runs.

Take UNDER 7.5 (+105).
