I really like this play. Everything makes sense for this one to hit so it’s worth drinking to get the juice. A tie here is a loss so we need Arizona to get more hits than Colorado. Tonight's pitching matchup is Zac Gallen versus Kyle Freeland and I love it.

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS VS. COLORADO ROCKIES Prediction

Backing Gallen this year has been a trend for us. He’s 2-0 and respecting our cash thus far. I’m trusting not just him but also the Arizona bullpen. The Rockies' bats are 30-142 lifetime against Gallen which is only a .211 batting average. Pitching in Coors is scary but Gallen has allowed four, two, four, and three hits in his last four starts in Colorado. I expect him to have a solid start and Arizonas 12th ranked bullpen to do their job.

Fading Kyle Freeland is a no-brainer. The man has allowed 19 hits in 5.2 innings pitched this year. He’s averaging 3.4 allowed hits an inning and gets a Arizona team that historically destroys him. Diamondbacks bats hit 48–137 against him lifetime which is good for an impressive.350 average! Arizona has looked good this year too sporting the fourth best batting average among teams in the MLB.

Colorado has had the second worst bullpen in terms of ERA. The Diamondbacks should have a good night offensively and on the flip side, Gallen is their ace starter. This is a good bet I’m confident in. Let's roll!
