Rockies, Diamondbacks Have Opportunity to Shed Losing Ways
Both teams enter with losing records, and the Diamondbacks have gone 4-6 over their last 10 games.
On Friday, the Colorado Rockies hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks in Denver to open a three-game series, marking their first meeting this season.
Arizona enters third in the NL West with a 20-22 record, while Colorado sits fifth at 17-27 with an 8-11 home mark this season.
Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly and Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland took the mound as pitching probables, while Mickey Moniak leads Colorado's lineup with 12 home runs.
Both clubs grapple with significant roster absences; Kris Bryant and Jordan Lawlar remain on the 60-Day IL while Colorado has won only three of its last 10 games.
Oddsmakers set the Diamondbacks as-125 favorites for the matchup, with an over/under total of 12 runs as the series continues through the weekend in Denver.
