Key Players to Watch

DiamondbacksRockies
Corbin Carroll – 62 XBH, 26 HRHunter Goodman – .277 AVG, 25 HR
Blaze Alexander – 10-for-33, 3 HRBrenton Doyle – 11-for-33, 3 HR
Ketel Marte – .296 AVG, 23 HRMickey Moniak – 10-for-42, 2 HR

Arizona’s lineup has been explosive, with Carroll and Marte leading the charge. Goodman and Doyle remain Colorado’s top threats.

Arizona has covered the run line in 4 of its last 5 wins over Colorado.

Arizona’s power and pitching edge make them heavy favorites. Nelson’s consistency and the D-backs’ recent offensive surge—averaging 1.4 HR per game—should overwhelm a Rockies team with a bloated ERA and thin bullpen. Expect Arizona to win comfortably and push the total toward the over.
