The Arizona Diamondbacks got shutout yesterday, but they have been a good bounce back team after getting shut down. Last week they lost 1-0 to Washington, then won at home 5-1 against San Diego. Prior to that they were shut out 3-0 by the Reds, then won 5-4 the next night. The D-Backs are 6-2 as home chalk and face a bad Colorado team that is 12-40 on the road, and 8-22 against a team with a losing record. Colorado is 17-45 as an underdog and goes with Jorge De La Rosa, who is battling a thumb problem and off a loss at San Francisco. The Rockies are 0-5 in De La Rosa's last five road starts, part of a stumbling 20-46 run overall. Chase Anderson (7-6, 3.90 ERA) has been good for Arizona, 5-3 at home with a 3.61 ERA. The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in Anderson's last six starts as a favorite. Arizona is 7-2 against Colorado, and the Rockies are 0-7 in De La Rosa's last seven starts in Arizona. Play the Arizona Diamondbacks.
