The Colorado Rockies will host the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field for a three-game set between NL West Division rivals. The Diamondbacks sit at the bottom of the NL West, 5.5 games behind the Rockies with a (6–10) record. The Rockies are a 0.5 game up on the Dodgers to lead the West with an (11–4) record and are 7–2 the last 9 games.
Starting Pitchers
Diamondbacks: Robbie Ray LHP (1–2, 9.45 ERA)
Rockies: Jon Gray RHP (0–1, 3.31 ERA)
Lefty Robbie Ray will take the hill for the Diamondbacks in the series opener. Ray has struggled a touch early on and he has yet to reach the 6th inning of any of his three starts. Ray made five starts vs. the Rockies in 2019, going 2–1 with a 3.70 ERA and 32 strikeouts. Arizona is averaging 3.5 runs per game and .211 team batting average.
Colorado will counter with staff ace Jon Gray, who has put together a strong start to the season. In three games, Gray is 1–1 with a 3.31 ERA and he is fresh off of his first quality start of the season. In 2019, Gray made three starts against Arizona, finishing 1–1 with a 3.31 ERA. The Rockies’ righty has made 10 career starts versus the DBacks, going 3–4 with a 4.77 ERA. Colorado’s offense is in sync scoring 5.33 runs per game and an MLB leading .263 team batting average.
The Rockies are 7–1 their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter
The Diamondbacks are 5–12 their last 17 road games
You have to figure that Robbie Ray will bounce back eventually this season but it won’t get any easier for him facing the Rockies at Coors Field. Colorado has coupled fine starting pitching with a potent offensive lineup to gain an early lead in the NL West. I look for the Rockies good fortune to continue tonight as Robbie Ray struggles to find his form.
