Rockies vs Diamondbacks predictions
Let’s talk about the Colorado Rockies for a moment, because, let’s be real, they need someone to step up and shake off this brutal road skid. If you’re looking for a bright spot, keep your eyes on Hunter Goodman—he’s swinging a hot bat lately and has the potential to snag a couple of hits, maybe even drive in a run if he gets the right pitch. Ryan McMahon’s power always makes him a threat; don’t be surprised if he sneaks one over the wall. Ezequiel Tovar is another guy who could quietly chip in with a multi-hit game, especially if he gets on base early and forces the Diamondbacks’ defense to play a little more on their toes.
On the Arizona Diamondbacks’ side, there’s a lot to get excited about if you’re a D-backs fan. Corbin Carroll is just electric at the plate—a guy who can light up the scoreboard with extra-base hits and even swipe a bag if he gets on. I’m expecting him to have a big night, maybe a home run and some fireworks on the bases. Josh Naylor brings a reliable bat and could easily rack up a couple of RBIs, while Ketel Marte should keep the pressure on the Rockies’ pitching with his knack for getting on base and scoring runs. And, of course, with Zac Gallen starting, expect plenty of strikeouts and limited scoring opportunities for Colorado.
So, putting it all together, the Diamondbacks come into this one with way more momentum and depth at pretty much every spot on the field. With Arizona swinging the bats well and Gallen dealing from the mound, it’s tough to imagine the Rockies snapping out of their slump in this matchup. If you’re looking for a winner, Arizona just looks like the stronger, more consistent squad right now—expect them to take another one at Chase Field.
