Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Prediction: Rockies will struggle in this match

On Thursday, Major League Baseball action moves to Chase Field, where the Colorado Rockies take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the third of four planned games in the series. Arizona won the first game by two runs and then won again by four on Tuesday to extend their winning streak.

On Tuesday, the Diamondbacks scored five runs in the second inning on their way to eleven hits as a team while also allowing thirteen hits to be collected by the opposition. Arizona came out on top despite having fewer hits (8-6) in the second game of the series. Zac Gallen worked 6.0 innings as the starting pitcher, allowing two walks and five hits while not allowing a run. The Diamondbacks have a record of 8-3 over their last 11 games played on Thursday, and they have a record of 4-1 over their last five games played in game three of a series. In Arizona's last eight games in game three of a series, the overs have won 6-2 of those contests.

The Rockies were up 4-0 early in the first game of this series on Monday, but they couldn't hold on and ended up losing 7-5. On Tuesday, Colorado suffered a 5-1 defeat and gave up three runs in the opening inning of the game. Kyle Freeland started the game and pitched 5.2 innings, allowing five earned runs on six hits while also walking three batters. The Rockies have a record of 32-70 in their past 102 games played away from home, and their record is 7-17 in their last 24 games played on Thursday. In their last 27 games against teams from the NL West, Colorado Rockies have a record of 7-20.

Most likely, I'll keep rooting for the Diamondbacks. Henry hasn't been terrible on the mound recently. In his last two starts, he's allowed just two runs on seven innings of work, with five hits and two walks. The Diamondbacks will be in good shape if their offense can help him out here. Arizona took advantage of a lackluster offensive performance on Tuesday with a strong first inning. If the Diamondbacks get off to another excellent start, I think they can keep their winning form intact. However, I do not expect the Rockies to slack too much here; hence, they should cover the spread.
