Rockies vs Diamondbacks
Can the Mile-High bats survive the desert heat?

Rockies (7-37) VS Diamondbacks (24-21)
May 18, 2025 | 4:10 PM ET | Chase Field, Phoenix

Arizona rolls into this matchup winning three of their last five, taking on a Colorado team that has lost four their last five and continues to struggle both at the plate and on the mound. With a thin rotation and bullpen plagued by the league’s worst ERA, the Rockies remain vulnerable—especially on the road, where they've dropped 21 of 24. Arizona, by contrast, is mostly healthy and has enough offensive depth and speed to capitalize on those pitching weaknesses.
Even with a starting pitcher still working back into top form, the Diamondbacks have a clear edge across the board. While the moneyline carries a steep price, the combination of recent form, matchup disparity, and Colorado’s dismal road record makes Arizona the higher-probability play. Not huge value, but solid and steady.

Arizona’s recent success has been driven by pitching, with their ace consistently delivering deep, efficient outings. Despite a few bats heating up, the lineup is still missing key pieces and lacks consistent punch, especially with injuries trimming the middle of the order. Meanwhile, Colorado stumbles into Chase Field on a deep slump losing streak and remains offensively barren, rarely pushing across more than a couple of runs per game.
With a closed roof keeping conditions cool, and both teams struggling to produce consistently at the plate, this matchup leans heavily toward a low-scoring outcome. The setup favors the under, making it a sharp angle in a game where offense may be as scarce as desert rain.

Arizona comes into this matchup with strong momentum, having won three of their last five and facing a Colorado team stuck in season long slump. While the home side remains without a key rotation arm, their starter has been solid at Chase Field, and the bullpen has continued to stifle Colorado’s limited offense. With a thin visiting bench and continued struggles on both sides of the ball, the Rockies are unlikely to mount much resistance.
Even with a steep price, the run-line leans toward value thanks to the disparity in form, roster depth, and recent head-to-head dominance. Arizona to cover -1.5 earns a steady mid-range grade—more about reliability than return, but well worth a look.
