Arizona at Colorado

Colorado may be home, but they are reeling, losing five in a row. The Rockies pitching has been dreadful, off an 8-6 defeat allowing 47 runs the last five contests! Lacking an ace, the Rockies are 13-31 during Game 1 of a series. Arizona is in town with a hot pitcher in Josh Collmenter (2.76 ERA).

He has yielded three runs or fewer in each of his last four starts.

Arizona is 6-0 when Collmenter gets four days of rest, plus the Diamondbacks are 4-0 when he starts against the Rockies. Play Arizona.
