Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m not thrilled to get behind Eduardo Rodriguez, who is still working his way back and making just his second appearance of the season. However, the Rockies remain one of the worst teams in baseball and Austin Gomber has been getting rocked left and right on the road. The Diamondbacks remain one of the best teams in the second half of the season, and hey need to take advantage of Games like this to stay in the thick of the NL West race. I’ll continue to ride the hot hand that is the Diamondbacks. Give me the Diamondbacks and the RL for max betting value.
