Final Take
Despite two struggling starters, this game sets up as a potential underplay due to Chase Field’s suppressed run environment and both teams’ recent offensive inconsistencies. Rodriguez’s strikeout upside (6.0 K/game) and Blalock’s improved road splits offer glimmers of hope, but bullpen depth remains a concern on both sides. Arizona’s power edge and home-field advantage make them the safer pick, but don’t sleep on Colorado’s recent plate discipline gains.
