Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Game Preview & Prediction

The Colorado Rockies will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in a National League West matchup on April 10, 2024, at Coors Field. The Rockies, with a record of 3-9, are having a tough season, while the Diamondbacks, with a record of 5-7, are also struggling.

The Rockies are projected to start left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber, who has started two games this year. Gomber has yet to secure a win, and his ERA stands at 6.23, which is considered poor. However, his 4.60 xFIP suggests that he has been unlucky and may perform better going forward.

On the other side, the Diamondbacks are projected to start left-handed pitcher Tommy Henry. Henry has also started two games this season, with a record of 0-1 and an ERA of 7.00. Like Gomber, his xFIP (3.80) indicates that he has been unlucky and could improve in future outings.

In terms of offense, the Rockies rank 13th in MLB, while the Diamondbacks rank 7th. However, the Rockies have struggled in team batting average, ranking 18th, and team home runs, ranking 24th. The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, have excelled in stolen bases, ranking 3rd in the league.

Looking at the betting odds, the Rockies are considered underdogs with a moneyline of +120, implying a win probability of 44%. The Diamondbacks, as the favorites, have a moneyline of -140, with an implied win probability of 56%.

Overall, this game presents an interesting matchup between struggling teams. The Rockies will rely on Gomber to bounce back from his rough start to the season, while the Diamondbacks hope that Henry can improve his performance. With both teams looking to turn their seasons around, it will be an intriguing National League West battle at Coors Field.

Quick Takes Arizona Diamondbacks:

Tommy Henry has added a sinker to his arsenal this year and has used it 24.7% of the time.

• Adding an extra pitch often leads to more success because it makes the pitcher more unpredictable and keeps hitters guessing more, although sinkers are generally one of the least effective pitches.

Eugenio Suarez has big-time power (94th percentile) if he makes contact, but that's usually a big "IF" (29.4% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Austin Gomber struggles to strike batters out (16th percentile K%) — great news for Suarez.

• If he is less likely to strikeout, he'll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.

Quick Takes Colorado Rockies:

Out of all the teams playing today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the Colorado Rockies.

• Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.

As it relates to his overall offensive skill, Brenton Doyle ranks in the 5th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).

• THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.

Final Score Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks 5.99 vs Colorado Rockies 5.55
