Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread
Colorado needs to get their offense going in this game. They have scored just one run in the last two games, but there is a good matchup Thursday afternoon. Davies has allowed 14 hits and walked eight in 12 2/3 innings pitched. He has an xBA of .295 and xSLG of .464. The Rockies are actually in the top-10 in batting average this season, so they should be able to hit the ball around in this game. McMahon and Tovar will have to carry the team, but Kris Bryant and Elias Diaz need to get hot, as well.
Why The Diamondbacks Could Cover The Spread
Arizona hits the ball well against the Rockies, but also all season. They are sixth in batting average, slugging, and almost 40 percent of their hits have gone for extra bases. Seabold is not the best pitcher as he has given up 45 hits in 36 1/3 innings pitched. In those innings, Seabold has allowed seven home runs. The Diamondbacks should be able to hit the ball around in this game and produce some runs. Arizona has been hitting for some power recently, as well. With their ability to drive the ball to the gaps and over the fence, Arizona should have no problem completing the sweep.
Final Rockies-Diamondbacks Prediction & Pick
The Rockies are 3-9 in games Seabold has pitched. Davies is not the greatest pitcher either, so expect some runs in this game. The over is a play I feel comfortable with, despite the Rockies recent struggles at the plate. However, the Diamondbacks should be able to complete the sweep and cover the spread.
Final Rockies-Diamondbacks Prediction & Pick: Diamondbacks -1.5 (+108), Over 9.5 (-118)
