The Arizona Diamondbacks (79-74, minus-6.85 betting units) are running out of chances in the NL playoff race. But they have a three-game home series coming up against the Colorado Rockies (82-70, plus-11.76 units), and if the Snakes win the first two games, Sunday’s finale could be the difference between a Wild Card berth and an early trip to the golf course. TBS has the coverage beginning at 4:10 PM ET.
Zack Godley (4.79 ERA) will take the mound for Arizona. He’s made a small profit of 0.40 units this year on a record of 14-10, but Godley ended up getting creamed in five of his last six starts, with the Over checking in at 4-2. The Snakes need the version of Godley who pitched well over the summer, allowing just 12 earned runs in seven starts heading into mid-August.
Colorado will go with potential Cy Young winner Kyle Freeland (2.95 ERA) as they try to improve their playoff hopes in the senior circuit. Freeland leads all major league pitchers with 12.86 units in earnings; the Rockies are 21-10 in his 31 starts thus far (including nine straight quality starts), driving the Under to a 22-9 record along the way.
