Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks have won 13 of the last 17 meetings with the Rockies and 8 of the last 10 at Chase Field.

Pfaadt was fantastic in the Diamondbacks’ postseason run last season.

The Rockies scored 5 of their 13 runs of the series in 1 inning on Saturday.

Expect the Snakes to close the series with a win but there is no sense in betting them at -210.

PASS.

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.

  • Is 1-1 with 6.00 ERA in 5 career appearances vs. Arizona (4 starts)

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).

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Diamondbacks welcome the Colorado Rockies to Chase Field Thursday for Opening Day. First pitch is set for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Diamondbacks won series 10-3 in 2023

The Diamondbacks finished 2nd in the NL West last season with a 84-78 record. They made it to the World Series where they lost 4-1 to the Texas Rangers. Arizona added a plethora of high-octane bats in the offseason and have World Series aspirations, ideally besting its 43-38 home record from 2023.

The Rockies finished last in the NL West, 20 games behind the 4th-place San Francisco Giants. Colorado was 22-59 on the road and 59-103 on the season. It didn’t do much to increase its playoff chances and should again be among the worst teams in the NL this season.

Rockies at Diamondbacks projected starters

LHP Kyle Freeland vs. RHP Zac Gallen

Freeland went 6-14 with a 5.03 ERA last season. He finished with a 1.47 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 5.4 K/9 in 155 2/3 IP.

  • Has slipped after a strong start to his career and own above a 4.30 ERA for 5 straight seasons.
  • Faced Arizona 3 times last season, allowing 10 runs in 17 2/3 IP

Gallen went 17-9 with a 3.47 ERA last season, earning his 1st All-Star appearance. He finished with a 1.12 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 in 210 IP.

  • Has ended each of the last 2 seasons (65 starts) with a 3.50 ERA or lower
  • Faced Colorado once last season, earning the win after 6 IP, 0 ER

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 2

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no good value here as the home favorite (Arizona at -240) is too expensive to play outright.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (-115).

Arizona throttled the Colorado at home last season. The Diamondbacks were 6-1 outright and covered a 1.5-run spread in 5 of those 7. In Gallen’s lone start, the Diamondbacks won 5-1. Arizona was the 5th-best covering team in the MLB last season with a 97-82 ATS record. Colorado was just 80-82.

Also, the Diamondbacks did more in the offseason and improved while the Rockies did little and Arizona should see similar success to a season ago. Arizona was 45-43 ATS at home last season.

It has the pitching and batting edge in this game. Take DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-105).

If there’s one thing neither team was good at last season, it was going Over the projected total. Arizona was 78-93-8 O/U a season ago with Colorado 74-87-1 O/U.

In the matchup that both Freeland and Gallen started a season ago, the total ended at 6. Both teams ended in the bottom half of the league in hits last season as well.

Expect a low-scoring game and back UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

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

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).

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).

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 4

Money line

The Rockies are 17-34 on the road this season and are 2-7 in their last 9 road games. No other team in the majors has fewer road wins. However, they are 4-3 in Arizona.

The Diamondbacks have won 5 of their last 6 games at Chase Field. While Arizona is only 46-58 overall it’s 30-24 against teams who are .500 or worse.

Arizona will play well in their first game of the homestand. Take the DIAMONDBACKS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks are 31-23 ATS at home this season, the fourth-best mark in the majors. They have not been the favorite many times this season but are 11-13 ATS in that scenario.

When they do win, it is by multiple runs. Their last 7 wins, and 11 of their last 12 victories, have been by at least 2 runs.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under

Seven of the Rockies’ last 10 games have had 9 or more total runs. Half the games between the two teams have had 9 or more.

The Diamondbacks’ last 3 games have had at least 9 runs.

In Friday’s matchup, I LEAN OVER 8.5 (-107).

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado Rockies (37-48) close out their 7-game road trip Sunday with the finale of their 4-game series on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks (38-47) Sunday afternoon. First pitch is 4:10 p.m. ET at Chase Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Rockies lead the season series 5-4 so far.

The Rockies took the first 2 games of the season before falling 9-2 Saturday night. They are 2-4 on the road trip and seek a series win.

The Diamondbacks snapped a 3-game losing streak with their win Saturday night. With a win Sunday, they will salvage a tie of the series against the Rockies and finish the homestand with a 4-3 record.

Rockies at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP German Marquez vs. LHP Tyler Gilbert

Marquez (4-7, 5.90 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 90 IP.

  • In his one start against the Diamondbacks this season, the Rockies were shut out 4-0. Marquez allowed all 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings.
  • In his last 4 starts, he is 1-2 with a 5.32 ERA.

Gilbert (0-3, 6.86 ERA) makes his 5th start in 6 appearances. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 through 19 2/3 IP.

  • In his return to the rotation 5 days ago, he allowed 1 run in 3 2/3 innings in a 6-2 win over the Giants.
  • In his 2 previous starts, he allowed 13 runs (12 earned) and 6 home runs in 7 1/3 innings.

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 5

Money line

The Rockies have not won a road series outright since taking 2 of 3 games from the Giants June 7-9. Their 14 road wins are the second-fewest in baseball. Marquez’ road ERA is 7.17, and his road WHIP is 1.68.

Gilbert pitched well in his first start back into the rotation in his last outing.

I don’t expect either starter to go deep into this game, so it will come down to the bullpen, where Arizona is 24th in ERA at 4.37, and the Rockies are 28th at 4.71.

I LEAN DIAMONDBACKS (-112) in the finale.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS on the run line. I believe the Diamondbacks will win the game, but at -180 to cover, it is a much better bet to do with the money line.

The Rockies have only won 3 road series all season. I don’t expect them to do it with Marquez on the mound. They are 7-12 ATS as the favorite this season. PASS.

Over/Under

Two of the 3 games this series and 5 of the last 6 between these teams have had double-digit run totals.

Nine of the Diamondbacks’ last 12 games have had 10 or more runs.

Take OVER 9.5 (+110).

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

The Colorado Rockies (36-47) take the field against the Arizona Diamondbacks (37-46) Friday at Chase Field in the 2nd of a 4-game set. 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: Colorado leads 4-3.

Colorado downed the D-backs in the ninth inning Thursday on a Randal Grichuk RBI-double to put them ahead 4-3. It was just the Rockies’ 13th win away from Coors Field with 26 losses. Colorado is 5-5 in its last 10 and 9-11 in its last 20 games and trails Arizona by 1 game for 4th place in the NL West.

Arizona is 5-5 and 8-12 over its last 10 and 20 games. The D-backs are below average in almost every category, but they hit the 11th-most homers per game. 1B Christian Walker is 3rd in the National League with 21.

Rockies at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Chad Kuhl vs. RHP Zac Gallen

Kuhl (5-5, 3.83 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 82 1/3 IP.

  • He’s not as good on the road with a 2-3 record, 4.39 ERA and 1.59 WHIP vs. 3-2 with a 3.27 ERA and 1.07 WHIP at home.
  • Was drilled for 5 ER in 5 IP at home Sunday vs. Arizona, but he pitched a 6-inning gem with 1 ER and 5 K’s at Arizona in May.
  • Current D-backs are hitting .255 with a .308 weighted on-base average in 54 plate appearances.

Gallen (4-2, 3.40 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.05 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 in 82 IP.

  • He’s equally as solid at home and on the road with a 3.45 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP at home and a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP on the road.
  • Has great spin on his fastball in the 93rd percentile of MLB and a good chase rate in the 79th percentile. Opponents are hitting just .184 on his 94-mph heater.
  • Current Rockies are hitting just .239 with a .285 weighted on-base average in 130 plate appearances against him.

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 3

Money line

You don’t hear much about him, but Gallen is in the midst of a breakout season and could potentially be an All-Star. There has been a surge toward Arizona as the cash went from 64% on them to 74% in a couple of hours. Arizona’s line opened at -138 and has been steamed up by sharp money. Both bullpens are bad as Colorado’s 4.68 ERA is 4th-worst in baseball, and Arizona’s is just 2 spots ahead of them at 4.39. We’re not going to pay -175 on the D-backs, but the DIAMONDBACKS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-116) is a much better proposition.

Run line/Against the spread

When Arizona wins, it’s usually by more than a run. Seven of its last 8 wins have been by 2 or more. Three of the 4 Arizona wins against Colorado have been by more than a run. They have the pitching matchup, and Colorado doesn’t hit as well away from Coors. LEAN DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

The last 4 games in Arizona have gone under this total, and we think that’s likely again Friday. The Under is 3-0-2 in the last 5 for Colorado overall and on grass. The Under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 in Arizona. Take the UNDER 8.5 (-102).
