Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 3

Moneyline

Gallen has been fantastic in 2 starts this season, while Freeland has struggled in both of his. The Diamondbacks (-185) have beaten Colorado in 14 of the last 18 meetings, and Gallen is 7-1 in his career against it.

I like the Diamondbacks to win, but it isn’t a good bet at -185.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks’ last 7 wins over the Rockies have been by 2 or more runs.

Six of the Rockies’ 8 losses this season have been by 2 or more runs.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Four of the Rockies’ last 5 games have had over 11 runs. Both of Freeland’s starts have had more than 11 runs.

Three of the 4 games between these teams this season have had more than 11 runs.

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.

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

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.

Prediction

Rockies 5, Diamondbacks 4

Money line

This will be Henry’s first experience pitching in the thin Colorado air.

The Rockies are 33-29 at home this season, while the Diamondbacks are 20-32 on the road. Both teams have played each other fairly evenly all season.

Feltner has allowed 8 runs in his last 9 1/3 innings but he is used to pitching in his home park.

Take the ROCKIES (-130).

Six games between the 2 teams have been decided by only 1 run, although 5 of the Rockies’ last 6 wins have been by 2 or more runs.

Three of the Diamondbacks’ last 8 losses have been by only 1 run.

I like the Rockies to win, but am not confident in a cover.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-175).

Over/Under

Of the 15 games between Arizona and Colorado, only 2 have had totals of 12 or more runs.

However, Feltner’s last 2 starts had 18 or more total runs.

Take UNDER 11.5 (+100).

The Arizona Diamondbacks (51-61) and the Colorado Rockies (51-64) meet in the middle contest of a 3-game set Saturday. First pitch from Coors Field is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Zac Gallen vs. RHP Jose Urena

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.

Diamondbacks at Rockiespicks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 5

Money line

The Rockies, after winning 2 of 3 games from the St. Louis Cardinals at home, are 32-29 at Coors Field.

The Diamondbacks struggle on the road. Only the Rockies and the Detroit Tigers have fewer than Arizona’s 19 road wins.

While the Diamondbacks have won 6 of their last 9 games, they went 1-5 and 2-4 on their last 2 road trips.

Take the ROCKIES (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

This is an inverted line. The Rockies are favored on the money line but Arizona is favored on the run line.

The only reason to bet the run line here is if you think the Diamondbacks can win, but they struggled too much on the road and the Rockies are so much better at home.

And if you like the Rockies to win, stick with the money line. It is a better value. PASS on the run line in this game.

Over/Under

Only one of the 10 games between the 2 teams this season has had more than 12 runs.

The Diamondbacks have gone 23 consecutive games without 1 with a total of 13 or more.

All 3 of the Rockies’ games in their last series had more than 12 runs, but 10 of the previous 11 did not.

Take UNDER 12.5 (-110).

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.

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).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Diamondbacks are now 61-62 ATS overall and 25-35 ATS on the road, the second-worst mark in the majors. Nine of their 12 losses in Gallen’s starts have been by at least 2 runs and five of their last six losses overall have been by 2 or more runs.

The first game in the series went Over 11.5 but it was only the second time in the last nine games for the Diamondbacks to finish with a total of 12 or more.

The Diamondbacks, though, have the seventh-highest Over percentage in baseball at 54.6%.

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

Take UNDER 11.5 (-120).

Arizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

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

The Arizona Diamondbacks (18-28) and Colorado Rockies (16-29) play the second of a three-game set Saturday at Coors Field with a 3:10 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

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.

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 8:48 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Diamondbacks -115 (bet $115 to win $100) | Rockies -105 (bet $105 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Diamondbacks -1.5 (+125) | Rockies +1.5 (-155)
  • 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.
