After a (very) brief run of success, the Rockies are back to being the worst team in the Majors. Arizona enters this game red-hot, winning five of their last six games. I expect that number to climb to six of seven after Thursday.

I've always wanted to try one of these No pitcher to win props as I have not done it previously because usually the Nos are well north of -200 if not even higher. So let's roll the dice here as the Diamondbacks really have little to play for in Denver and are under .500 away. Rodriguez has only three road wins in 11 away starts with a 5.63 ERA -- and none of those were at Coors Field. Winds are apparently blowing out tonight, so E-Rod might not even go a full five to qualify. Bullpens have certainly murdered me often previously. Now I get to root against one if relevant. That's worth the proverbial cover charge right there.

FanDuel at -130. Eduardo Rodriguez has failed to clear this line in 14 of his 20 starts this season, including nine of twelve on the road. After just facing the Rockies in Arizona in his last start (5.1 innings, six hits and five runs), he’ll now have to pitch at Coors Field, which is expected to see peak hitting conditions tonight. The Rockies have the second highest OPS against lefties at home since June 1st (.832).

It’s been a tough first season in the desert for E-Rod who has an ERA over 5.0 and has consistently been shake from the mound. He gets a difficult test today at Coors Field which is the most hitter friendly environment in the majors. Couple that with the Rockies bats have been coming alive over the last two weeks and this looks like a good spot to fade Rodriguez.
