Arizona Diamondbacks (46-58) vs Colorado Rockies (47-61)

The Rockies at one point provided a ton of value and in spots, they’re going to continue to do so, but not here. Antonio Senzatela’s got a sub-5.00 ERA but he has a 6.16 ERA on the road and are allowing teams to hit .336 against him away from Coors Field this season, including three runs on four hits in two innings in his lone start against Arizona this season. Merrill Kelly goes for the Diamondbacks on the other hand and has been arguably the D-Backs’ staff ace over the last month, posting a 1.31 ERA in six starts in July. Kelly also has a miniscule 1.16 ERA in two starts against Colorado over 15.1 innings of work this season. I think this is just another spot to ride the hot hand of Merrill Kelly and the price isn’t that bad considering how well Kelly has been pitching and how much Senzatela’s struggled on the road this season. Give me Arizona here.
