In this Diamondbacks vs Rockies Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -140 road favorites. The Rockies have been struggling lately and have the pitching disadvantage today with Sugano on the mound, who has given up 9 runs in his last two starts. On the flip side, Rodriguez has given up just one run in his last two starts, the Dbacks have a better offense an the Rockies are struggling against lefties, so I like the Dbacks to win on the road in this one.
