The Arizona Diamondbacks are within reach of the NL West lead, sitting just 1.5 games back from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks prediction and pick

There is no way I can justify or try to argue in favor of a bet on the Rockies tonight.

Colorado will be rolling with Dinelson Lamet, who has a 12.66 ERA on the season, allowing 15 earned runs in 10.1 innings pitched. Tonight. he’ll be making his first start of the season after being used as a reliever through the first two months of the 2023 campaign.

It makes matters worse for him that he’ll face to face an Arizona Diamondbacks team that’s fifth in OPS against right-handed pitchers in the month of May. Meanwhile, the Rockies have an OPS of just .726 when playing away from Coors Field over the same time frame.

Let’s not overthink tonight’s game. It’s the Diamondbacks or nothing for me.
