Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction
The Colorado Rockies (9-17) and Arizona Diamondbacks (14-12) play the third part of a four-game set Saturday with an 8:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Chase Field. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Austin Gomber is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-3 with a 6.65 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 and 7.4 BB/9 over 23 IP through 5 starts.
Gomber posted three straight quality starts from April 9-21, but he was hammered for 9 earned runs on 7 hits and 4 walks while retiring just 5 batters in a loss at the San Francisco Giants Monday.
RHP Zac Gallen is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 through 16 2/3 IP across 3 starts.
Gallen twirled 7 scoreless innings with just 1 hit and 2 walks allowed in a complete-game win in Atlanta Sunday. He had 6 or more strikeouts in each of his starts.

Money line (ML)
The Diamondbacks (-200) will cost you two times your potential return, and that's just not a good long-term betting strategy. Look to the run line instead.
AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+100) are a much better option on the run line at even money.
Arizona outscored Colorado 12-5 in the first two games of this series and won each game by at least 2 runs. In fact, each of Arizona's last seven victories came by 2 or more runs.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 8 (-105) is worth playing lightly, mainly because of Gomber's ugly outing last time out in San Francisco. The Over also cashed in Friday's game, with a total of 9 runs.
The Over is 7-3 across Arizona's past 10 outings while going 6-1 in the past seven games for Colorado.
