The Arizona Diamondbacks welcome the Colorado Rockies to Chase Field for a four-game series. The D-backs are coming off a 7-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants last night. They started early with a 4-0 lead going into the top of the 3rd, but their pitching didn’t hold.

Arizona beat on Alex Cobb for 7 hits and 4 earned runs in 6 innings, while Merrill Kelly pitched a solid game as a starter for the Diamondbacks. That didn’t matter, though, as the Arizona bullpen decided to ruin his solid performance. Kelly left the contest following 2 hits and 2 earned runs allowed in 6.1 innings.
The Diamondbacks are learning how to win and finish games this season, so we won’t be so hard on them. They’ve shown improvement from a tough 2021 campaign and haven’t been competitive in a while.
They’re going into tonight at 37-45 and 15.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. The Rockies are the lone team in the division behind the D-backs.
The Rockies are 17.5 games out of first and two games away from the Diamondbacks. It’s the same for these two clubs. Even if they’re good in the near future, there are the Giants, Padres, and Dodgers to contend with in the NL West.
It’s the toughest division in baseball, and they will need a lot of improvement to contend at the top of the NL West. Head below for our free Diamondbacks vs. Rockies prediction on July 7, 2022.

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks Prediction:
We’ll see what happens in this series when two of the worst pitching staffs in the majors meet for a four-game series. There won’t be a major improvement for either side before the pitching is better.
The Rockies can’t blame it on Coors Field. Coors Field is the toughest place to pitch in the majors, but they’re also struggling on the road.
Overall, the Rockies have yielded a .274 batting average and 5.52 rums per 9 innings to their opponents. They have an overall team ERA of 4.99 and on the road a 4.97 ERA.
Gomber carries a 7.20 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in his previous ten frames into Chase Field. He’s allowed a minimum of 3 earned runs in three of his last four attempts.
Arizona is hitting .329 with a .453 OBP in 37 at-bats against him. They’ve tacked on 6 RBIs while he’s been on the bump.
Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Trends:

- OVER is 6-2 in their previous eight games on the road versus a team with a losing record
- OVER is 3-0-1 in their previous four games after their opponent concedes 5 or more runs
Diamondbacks
- Record (Last 10): 5-5

- OVER is 4-0-1 in their previous five games versus a team with a losing record
- OVER is 5-2 in their previous five games at home
The issue for the Diamondbacks is that they’re sending Dallas Keuchel to the mound. That may have sounded like a great thing in the past, but he’s been awful.
His arm looks dead, and Keuchel is going to have to change his approach soon. It’s hard to see the Diamondbacks leaving him in the rotation if this continues.
The bullpens likely won’t offer much resistance. They both rank near the back of the majors, with the Rockies third-last at a 4.75 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. The D-backs aren’t far behind with a 4.39 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.
Somebody is going to get roughed up badly in this one. I’m just not sure if it’s Gomber or Keuchel. It could be both. The OVER is the play in the late-night hours in the desert.
