Calabrese's Diamondbacks vs Rockies Preview, Prediction, Betting Analysis
I'm going with the Rockies to score over 2.5 runs in the first five innings. Their team total is sitting at plus 105.
The Rockies are no longer garbage. They're no longer the worst team in baseball.
Now, granted, they have lost by 14 and 19 runs this month, but this is not a play based on a full game or how their pitching staff comes into play.
This is purely on their offense. It is about their lineup's signs of life and their, dare I say, pop against subpar pitching this month.
It comes down to that and the other angle of this, which is obviously Brandon Pfaadt, the Arizona starter tonight. His ERA is now north of five, and he's given up 11 hits in two of his last three outings.
Pick: F5 Rockies Team Total Over 2.5 Runs (-105, DraftKings)
