Bet on Rockies vs. Diamondbacks
Colorado would love to return the favor of a road sweep as the Diamondbacks did to them a couple weeks ago. Marquez has been dependable on the road this year, while Corbin might be coming back down to earth after his stellar stretch ended with his poor start last week. Take the Rockies as an underdog.
