Zach Agnos has pitched in 13 games this year for Colorado and makes his first Major League start at Arizona on Thursday night. We got a spot where Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Nolan Arenado are all hitting the ball well, and I think tonight, Marte will be the catalyst behind Arizona scoring six or seven runs themselves. He had eight hits in his last four games, including home runs in each of the last two games against the Giants. Marte was slumping, but his batting average went from .209 on Friday to .235 through Wednesday.
The Diamondbacks come off a sweep of the Giants and now have won four in a row as they play the Rockies for four games beginning tonight. They just played the Rockies in Denver last week, winning two out of three. The reason for the bet is Ketel Marte is on fire. He's gone over his hit total in his last four games. When Marte gets hot, he usually stays hot for 10 days. He's hit a home run in his last two games and has 8 hits in his last four, along with 7 runs and 7 RBIтАЩs. We also get Corbin Carroll back after he took yesterday off. The top two players on the Diamondbacks are hitting. A Diamondbacks groove is coming.
Here come the Diamondbacks as they are taking advantage of a soft spot in their schedule. Eduardo Rodriguez has been dominant at home with a 1.65 ERA in four starts. Ketel Marte is red hot atop that Snakes lineup and won Tuesday's game about by himself. The Rockies are using a potpourri of middling dudes you probably never heard of in a bullpen-type day on the mound.
The Rockies have been doing an awful lot of losing lately and have a bullpen game going for Thursday in Arizona. Eduardo Rodriguez, a lefty, has been excellent at home this season and the Rockies struggle against lefties. We'll grab plus odds here instead of laying heavy juice for a moneyline play.
The Diamondbacks outrighted Sanchez to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
