Colorado was a last place team a year ago, struggling on the road, as usual. Starter Jorge De La Rosa turns 35 years old tomorrow and is a notoriously slow starter, allowing 14 runs in his first three starts last April. He is over the hill and off a poor spring, with a 4.63 ERA. The Rockies are on a 38-88 run on the road and 32-71 away against a right-handed starter. They don't face just any righty here, but new Arizona ace Zack Greinke with a 1.88 ERA this spring. Last season his 1.66 ERA was the lowest by a National League pitcher since Greg Maddux and his 1.63 ERA two decades ago. The Arizona Diamondbacks were one of the top offensive teams in the National League last season, and the Rockies are 15-38 in the last 53 meetings in Arizona. Play the Arizona Diamondbacks on the runline.
