MLB Betting Trends
Arizona
The Diamondbacks are just 7-16 in their last 23 Game 3’s of a series and 3-7 in their last 10 division games.
Colorado
The Rockies are 5-1 in their last six home games and 5-1 in their last six NL West games.
Prediction:
Ray doesn’t get deep into games, even though he has allowed two earned runs or less in his last five starts. Hoffman has just two starts and he has been rocked in both of them. Arizona hasn’t been able to get the hitting it needs in this series. While the pitching matchup isn’t great, Colorado has been able to do a great job with its bullpen against Arizona. Ray doesn’t get deep into his starts and the Diamondbacks bullpen isn’t getting the job done right now.
MLB Prediction: Colorado Rockies +120
