Arizona was able to take advantage of their two home runs, while the Rockies didn't go deep a single time. Randal Grichuk and Corbin Carroll both went deep for the Diamondbacks.</p>

<p>Neither starter factored into the decision in this game, as Merrill Kelly went six innings and gave up two earned runs on six hits. Kevin Ginkel picked up the save, while Cal Quantrill took the loss for the Rockies. Quantrill also gave up two runs and went six innings.</p>

<p>Gabriel Moreno had a big game at the plate for the Diamondbacks, going 4/5 with two doubles. Christian Walker also drove in a run for Arizona. As for the Rockies, three different players had two hits, but none of them drove in a run.</p><h3>Diamondbacks Records & Stats</h3><p>Arizona is currently in 2nd place in the NL West, but they are tied with the Padres and trail the Dodgers by four games. They have gone 4-2 against division opponents and are 5-7 overall. So far this season, they have gone 4-3 at home and 1-4 on the road. In the series they are currently playing, they have split the first two games and have lost two series in a row.</p>

<p>Against the Rockies, they have split the first two games and are 1-0 in the series. Overall, they are 4-2 as the favorite and 1-5 as the underdog.</p><p>The Diamondbacks have been a solid run line bet so far this season, going 7-5. They have been especially good at home, going 5-2 on the run line. Their average run differential on the season is +1.2, but on the road, they have been outscored by an average of 1.2 runs per game. They have been a better run line bet as the underdog, going 4-2, compared to 3-3 as the favorite.</p><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks have played 12 games this season with an average over/under line of 9 runs per game. Their combined run average for the season is 10.2 runs per game, and their over/under record is 7-5. However, none of their games have had an over/under line set at 12.5 runs, and their games have been averaging 10.2 runs per game.</p><p>Tommy Henry is on the mound for the Diamondbacks as they take on the Rockies on the road. He is looking to bounce back from a tough outing in his last start, where he took the loss vs. the Rockies. In that game, he went 4 innings, allowing 5 runs on 6 hits. In his first start of the season, he went 5 innings and gave up 2 runs on 6 hits.</p><p>For the Diamondbacks, we like Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to have a good game at the plate, as his hits projection is the highest on the team and 23rd best in the league today. His home run projection is 2nd best on the team and 15th best in the league. Christian Walker has the top home run projection on the team and Blaze Alexander has the 3rd best odds to hit a home run for the Diamondbacks.</p><h3>Rockies Records & Stats</h3><p>Colorado has struggled in the early going, as they are just 3-9 overall and are currently in last place in the NL West.
