Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

Merrill Kelly isn’t the most trustworthy pitcher in the world, and he’s had his issues on the road in limited frames. However, Antonio Senzatela is still working his way back and will pitch for just the third time this season. The Diamondbacks are also fighting for their lives in the wild card race, while the Rockies have been counting down the days until the off-season for months. The Diamondbacks can’t afford to blow Games against lesser teams if they’re going to snag a playoff berth. I’ll lay the somewhat reasonable juice with the Diamondbacks.
