Money line (ML)
The Rockies are the worst road team in MLB at 6-31 but are coming off a 6-1 homestand.
The Diamondbacks have the worst record in baseball and are only 13-27 at home. However, they won each of Kelly's last three starts. They are the only wins the Diamondbacks have in their last 30 games.
Combining the Rockies' play on the road and Kelly's run of great pitching recently, take the DIAMONDBACKS (-125).
