Arizona Diamondbacks (59 – 60) vs Colorado Rockies (46 – 73)
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies 8/15/2023 – On Tuesday, Christian Walker and the Diamondbacks are set to travel to Coors Field to face Ryan McMahon and the Rockies. Arizona takes on Colorado following their significant victory over the San Diego Padres this past Sunday, with a final score of 5-4.
After enduring a challenging nine-game losing streak, the Arizona Diamondbacks secured back-to-back wins, a notable achievement. This upturn in performance is particularly significant considering their recent struggles. The Diamondbacks occupied a playoff position for a substantial portion of the season, but their performance dipped recently. Currently, at the 3rd spot in the NL West, they are merely 2.5 games away from securing the final wildcard spot. Arizona will approach the game with a sense of urgency, aiming to make up lost ground.
The starting pitcher for the Rockies in their upcoming game against the Diamondbacks is uncertain, possibly leading to a relief pitcher taking the mound. Unfortunately, the Rockies have faced a tough season, evident in their 45-73 record. Currently at the bottom of the NL West, their postseason hopes are slim.

MLB Odds/Point Spread: Arizona Diamondbacks -164, Total Odds: 7.5
The Arizona Diamondbacks have the Rockies covered this season, winning six of the eight encounters. In contrast to the Rockies, who have nothing to play for, the offense is firing on all cylinders after a dry spell, and they are still in the running for the NL wildcard. The Rockies lost seven past 10 games and are at the bottom in the NL.
The Diamondbacks also have momentum after defeating the Padres twice in a row. I anticipate success against Ty Blach since the offensive is starting to ramp up again. He is not a reliable opponent for this offense. In 32 innings, Blach has given up 40 hits while striking out just 13 batters. In three of his four starts this year, the Rockies lost.
