Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Diamondbacks (-200) are too expensive to take, but they have something on the line and should come out on top.
Run line/Against the spread
BET ROCKIES +1.5 (+105).
While Freeland certainly hasn't had a great season, the Rockies are 4-1 in his last 5 starts. They've also been able to keep games close, going 2-6 in their previous 8 games, with 3 of those losses coming by one run.
Arizona's offense has been too inconsistent to trust here. The Diamondbacks have scored 3 runs or fewer in 3 of their last 5 games and have had 3 of their last 5 road games decided by a single run.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 11 (-120).
This is a lofty total for how the offenses have been playing on both sides.
Arizona has scored more than 5 runs in just 3 of its last 8 games. While 5-3 O/U in those, it is just 68-84-4 O/U on the season. Colorado has gone south of the total in 3 straight games, allowing just 10 runs in those contests.
