Arizona Diamondbacks -117 at Colorado Rockies, Game 2
Kyle Kendrick (4-12, 6.43 ERA) vs Rubby De La Rosa (11-6, 4.46 ERA)
The Diamondbacks were stunned last night by the Rockies in the first game of the series, as Colorado went down early but clawed back in the final inning by scoring four runs and taking the spoils 5-4. In the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, the pitching battle favors the visitors, and the odds reflect that. The Diamondbacks are craving to get back at it, and with De La Rosa – who has been impeccable after the All-Star break – on the mound, it should be a walk in the park.
In AccuScore simulations, the Diamondbacks win this game with 60.6 percent probability, which translates to odds of -153. At -117, there's good value for a motivated team, with better pitching and a deeper pool of batters, which is important with the games so close together.
