Colorado CF Brenton Doyle scored the decisive point in the bottom of the 9th inning thanks to a throwing error by Arizona SS Geraldo Perdomo. The Rockies were down 0-2 after the 1st inning, but equalized with solo home runs from SS Ezequiel Tovar in 4th and C Hunter Goodman in the 7th

Tips and predictions for the Diamondbacks at the Rockies

forecast

Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 5

Money line

SLIM DIAMOND BACKS (-155).

Arizona has finished its last six meetings against Colorado 5-1 and, as mentioned, leads the season series 8-3.

This is a trend because Colorado is the slightly better team at 4-1 in their last five games, while Arizona is 1-3 in their last four games, and because the Rockies are 2-1 in the last three meetings between these teams in Colorado.

Running Line/Against the Spread

Bet ROCKIES +1.5 (-115).

Colorado has trailed the Diamondbacks by just 1 run in 3 of their last 5 losses in this matchup. The Rockies also have a 39-32 ATS record as a home team this season, second only to Kansas City (42-34) in the Major Leagues.

Be aware that this is a risky bet as both teams have been solid ATS this season and the Diamondbacks are the better team and are fighting for a playoff spot and seeding, so you’ll want to go all out in this matchup.

Over/Under

SLIM UNDER 11.5 (-110).

The Under has scored in the two back-to-back games for Colorado and is 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Under has also scored in each of the last 3 meetings between these teams in Colorado and is 4-1-1 in their last 6 meetings overall.

This is more of a trend, as the over is 2-1 in Arizona’s last three overall games and 3-1 in their last four home games.
