The Arizona Diamondbacks welcome the Colorado Rockies to Chase Field Thursday for Opening Day. First pitch is set for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze'FanDuel Sportsbook’s'lines around the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: First meeting; Diamondbacks won series 10-3 in 2023
The Diamondbacks finished 2nd in the NL West last season with a 84-78 record. They made it to the World Series where they lost 4-1 to the Texas Rangers. Arizona added a plethora of high-octane bats in the offseason and have World Series aspirations, ideally besting its 43-38 home record from 2023.
The Rockies finished last in the NL West, 20 games behind the 4th-place San Francisco Giants. Colorado was 22-59 on the road and 59-103 on the season. It didn’t do much to increase its playoff chances and should again be among the worst teams in the NL this season.
