Bet on Rockies vs. Diamondbacks
You can’t feel great about the Colorado starting situation today, as Marquez is getting the start and the bullpen had four innings of work on Saturday. Marquez doesn’t have the experience to carry a team today. Arizona has still won 19 of its last 26 home games as well and the Rockies have only won 2 of their last 9 series finales.
