MLB - Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Baseball betting preview

This game where the Diamondbacks are huge favourites I think will give us a nice surprise, well the Diamondbacks are favourites because of the difference in the starting pitcher, but in my opinion that difference isn’t that big, and even with a slight edge on pitching i still think the way the roockies are hitting a lot better will prevail tonight.

The Roockies are sending into the mound J de la Rosa, which only pitched two games so far in the season and has a terrible ERA – 10.81! But the two games he pitched so far were against some hard teams – he slumped against the dodgers in a time where they were hitting very hard and against St. Louis he made a reasonable appearance which leads me to believe he worth much more then this 10.81. In the last game he strike out a lot and showed great control, so I’m not that confident de la Rosa will slump tonight.

The diamondbacks are sending in M Owings tonight – this pitcher has a season ERA of 4.53, but in the last games ha has been quite worse (ERA of 7.64) – Owings has showed a lack of control in the last games, and has allowed many hits even to teams with not such a great power in hitting. So the differences will not be that great tonight with another important aspect, the better bullpen from the roockies (2.21 vs 3.31) and with such a low bullpen, even if de la rosa doesn’t do as well as I expect him to, the bullpen is a lot better then Owing’s pitching.

So, a slight edge from pitching from the diamondbacks, that is clearly overtaken by the better way the roockies are hitting at the moment (0.284 vs 0.254) – in fact they are hitting better even if they faced opponents to which were harder to score then the diamondbacks, so with more confidence a lot more players to make a good lineup, I’m guessing the roockies will perform a big surprise here – I’m going for it.
