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).

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 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.

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 4

Money line

The Rockies snapped their 5-game losing skid on the road Saturday with a 4-run rally in the 9th inning, but they have mustered only 1 run in the other 16 2/3 innings against Arizona starters in two games.

The Diamondbacks have the second-lowest starting pitching ERA in baseball at 2.33 and Gallen has been great this year.

Marquez has struggled in 4 starts since his first outing of the year.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS (-160).

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies are 14-13 ATS overall this season but 5-6 ATS on the road.

All 6 of their road losses this season have been by 2 or more runs. They have lost by 3 runs or more in each of Marquez’ last 3 starts.

Eight of the Diamondbacks’ 14 wins have been by at least 2 runs.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+133).

Over/Under

Each of Marquez’ last 4 starts have had totals of more than 10 runs. He alone has allowed 7 runs in each of his last 2 outings.

Two of Gallen’s 4 starts this season have had totals of 9 or more runs.

The Rockies’ bullpen is tied for the highest ERA in baseball at 5.00. Arizona has the fourth-highest at 4.79.

The Rockies should be able to get some runs if Gallen isn’t able to go deep.

Take OVER 7.5 (-122).

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 4

Money line

The Rockies have dropped their last 5 road contests and 6 of their last 8.

The Diamondbacks are playing very well after a rough start to the season. They have won 8 of their last 10 and 4 games in a row. Their starting pitching ERA is 2.44, the second-lowest in all of baseball.

Davies has not been amazing but he has been steady. The Diamondbacks will likely have to rely on their bullpen more, which is rested after getting 8 2/3 innings from Kelly. Davies hasn’t pitched more than 5 innings all season.

Freeland has only made one road start this season. He allowed 4 runs in 5 innings but only 1 was earned.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

All 6 of the Rockies’ road losses have been by multiple runs. Those six road losses have come in their last eight road games.

The Diamondbacks are 1-0 ATS when favored, having won and covered the spread Friday against the Rockies, the first time all season they were not the underdog.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+160).

Over/Under

The Diamondbacks have gotten great starting pitching but their bullpen ERA is 4.66 and their relievers are likely to get several innings of work since Davies has not pitched more than 5 innings in any outing this season.

Freeland’s last 3 starts all had at least 9 total runs scored.

Before last night’s 4-1 win, the previous 4 games for Arizona all had at least 9 total runs.

Take OVER 8.5 (-122).

Rockies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Rockies 2

Money line

The Rockies have been fantastic at home this season, as they usually are. However, they are only 4-5 on the road so far. While that is much better than last season they’ve lost their last 4 road games.

Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks have been playing very well. They have won 5 of their last 6 games and 7 of their last 9 overall. They are 3-2 in Kelly’s starts.

They have the league’s 2nd-best starting pitching ERA at 2.54, behind only the Los Angele Dodgers’ 1.90.

Kelly has been great this season.

This is the first game the Diamondbacks are the favorite.

Take DIAMONDBACKS (-150).

Run line/Against the spread

Seven of the Diamondbacks’ 13 wins have been by at least 2 runs. This is the first time all season they are favored on the run line, so there are no trends to look at there.

The Rockies are 4-5 ATS on the road this season.

I love the pitching matchup but like Kelly a little more than Kuhl.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

Four of Kelly’s 5 starts this season had 5 or fewer runs.

All 4 of Kuhl’s starts had 8 or fewer runs.

If both starters go deep into the game, as they did each in their last respective starts where they both went at least 7 innings, it will stay low-scoring. Both teams have a bullpen ERA in the bottom four of the league that could throw this in jeopardy if the starters exit early.

Take UNDER 8.5 (-112).

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (37-50) hope to avoid being swept in their three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (25-63) Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 3:40 p.m. ET at Chase Field. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 2-5 with a 5.52 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 4.9 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 76 2/3IP over 12 starts and four relief appearances.

The Rockies have lost seven of his last eight starts but he has pitched well as of late. The righty has an ERA of 2.25 over 12 innings pitched over his last two outings. He allowed 4 runs in 4 2/3 innings May 2 in an 8-4 road loss to the Diamondbacks.

RHP Jake Faria is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 0-0 with a 5.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 11 K and 3 BB in 12 IP over two starts and three relief appearances.

Faria pitched only 4 innings in each of his first two starts this season. He allowed 4 runs on 7 hits and walked a pair in his last appearance Saturday against the San Francisco Giants.

  • Money line: Rockies +110 (bet $100 to win $110) | Diamondbacks -135 (bet $135 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-165) | Diamondbacks -1.5 (+140)
  • Over/Under: 9.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 5

Money line (ML)

The Rockies are 6-33 away from home after dropping the first two games of the series, which is the worst road record in the league. They have dropped 10 of their last 11 games away from Coors Field. Colorado is 3-9 when Gonzalez starts and is 1-6 in his road starts.

The Diamondbacks have won consecutive games for the first time since May 10-11, and have not won three in a row since April 25-27. Faria has not pitched in a Diamondbacks win this season either as a starter or a reliever.

As crazy as it sounds, because of the Rockies’ inability to get things going on the road, take the DIAMONDBACKS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

No one has a lower cover percentage on the road than the Rockies at 33.3%. They have covered the spread in only one of their last five games, and four of their last six losses have been by at least two runs.

The Diamondbacks, despite being only 15-27 at home, are 23-19 ATS at Chase Field. They are 7-4 ATS as home favorites and have covered the spread in four of the six games against the Rockies there this season.

Take the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under (O/U)

61.0% of the games at Chase Field have gone Over the projected total.

The series opener went Under the projected total and Wednesday night’s game hit the Over.

Only one of the Rockies’ last 10 games has gone Over the projected total. Seven of the last 12 for the Diamondbacks have gone Over.

Take OVER 9.5 (-115).

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (10-17) and Arizona Diamondbacks (14-13) play the finale of a four-game set Sunday with a 4:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Chase Field. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 5.4 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 over 20 IP through three starts and two relief appearances.

Gonzalez has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his three starts this season. He surrendered three runs on seven hits with no walks across five innings in a no-decision at the San Francisco Giants Tuesday.

RHP Merrill Kelly is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 2-2 with a 6.33 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 6.0 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 through 27 IP across five starts.

Kelly had his best outing of the season in his most recent start. He allowed just one earned run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts across six innings against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for his first quality start of the season.

Rockies at Diamondbacks odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 6:07 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rockies +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Diamondbacks -150 (bet $150 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-155) | Diamondbacks -1.5 (+125)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Rockies 8, Diamondbacks 6

Money line (ML)

The ROCKIES (+125) are a sharp play on the road as short underdogs. Kelly looked pretty good in his most recent showing against San Diego, but I am going to keep fading him until he can continue to piece together at least two or three quality wins in a row. He has just been too hittable prior to Tuesday’s start.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The ROCKIES +1.5 (-155) are worth a look if you are not quite feeling Colorado will win, don’t trust Gonzalez or think the Diamondbacks will pull it out. Again, I am siding with Colorado because I just haven’t seen enough from Kelly to trust Arizona when he is on the bump.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 8.5 (-120) is the best play on the board in this one. The Over is 11-5 in the past 16 for Colorado in the fourth game of a series, while the Over has cashed in five of the past six meetings in Arizona, including Saturday’s crazy 14-6 Colorado victory.

With Gonzalez and Kelly, two rather mediocre pitchers, on the hill for their respective teams, we could see a lot of fireworks in this finale as well.

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (9-17) and Arizona Diamondbacks (14-12) play the third part of a four-game set Saturday with an 8:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Chase Field. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Austin Gomber is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-3 with a 6.65 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 and 7.4 BB/9 over 23 IP through 5 starts.

Gomber posted three straight quality starts from April 9-21, but he was hammered for 9 earned runs on 7 hits and 4 walks while retiring just 5 batters in a loss at the San Francisco Giants Monday.

RHP Zac Gallen is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 through 16 2/3 IP across 3 starts.

Gallen twirled 7 scoreless innings with just 1 hit and 2 walks allowed in a complete-game win in Atlanta Sunday. He had 6 or more strikeouts in each of his starts.

  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

The Diamondbacks (-200) will cost you two times your potential return, and that’s just not a good long-term betting strategy. Look to the run line instead.

AVOID.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+100) are a much better option on the run line at even money.

Arizona outscored Colorado 12-5 in the first two games of this series and won each game by at least 2 runs. In fact, each of Arizona’s last seven victories came by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 8 (-105) is worth playing lightly, mainly because of Gomber’s ugly outing last time out in San Francisco. The Over also cashed in Friday’s game, with a total of 9 runs.

The Over is 7-3 across Arizona’s past 10 outings while going 6-1 in the past seven games for Colorado.

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (9-15) kick off Arizona Diamondbacks (12-12) a four-game series Thursday at 9:40 p.m. ET at Chase Field. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Antonio Senzatela is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-3 with a 5.76 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 5.4 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 25 IP over five starts.

Senzatela has alternated good and bad starts so far this season, while his best was eight shutout innings against Arizona in Coors. He’s typically not a good pitcher, regardless of venue, as shown by his 5.18 career road ERA.

RHP Luke Weaver is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 1-2 with a 4.57 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 in 21 2/3 IP over four starts.

Weaver’s first start of the year was against the Rockies in Colorado, a start in which he served up 3 HR and allowed 3 ER in 5 1/3 IP.

  • Money line: Rockies +135 (bet $100 to win $135) | Diamondbacks -160 (bet $160 to win $100)

  • Over/Under: 9 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Prediction

Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 4

Money line (ML)

The Rockies are 1-8 on the road this season while averaging just 2.3 runs per game.

Meanwhile, the Arizona offense has been hot lately, averaging 6.6 runs per game over their last seven contests, and they are a good bet to keep it going against Senzatela.

Weaver hasn’t been great, and his numbers could be worse if not for a .233 BAbip. But he is the better pitcher in this one and Arizona boasts the far superior offense.

Side with the DIAMONDBACKS (-160).

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

With Colorado struggling offensively, just one of their eight road losses has been by a single run.

The Diamondbacks should put their fair share of runs on the board Thursday night, and a small play on the DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+115) makes sense.

Over/Under (O/U)

Both starting pitchers in this matchup are displaying marginal skills to this point and allowing a lot of hard contact.

The Diamondbacks rank 2nd in runs per game on the season, and they appear to be in a good spot to stay hot.

The Rockies are certainly not a good team on the road, but Weaver can’t be counted on to completely shut down any offense right now.

The Colorado bats won’t have a big day but should do enough to help push this total OVER 9 (+100).
