Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona is home and much the better club (plus-5 to Colorado's minus-110, 6-4 to 4-6) with Michael Soroka (3.07 ERA, a 2.98 FIP, elite 1.87 walks per nine) opposing rookie Gabriel Hughes, whose tidy 4.25 ERA and 2.71 FIP ride a tiny 29-inning sample. The caveat: Hughes' FIP looks great but on almost no track record, and Chase Field boosts offense, so the run line is a stretch even as the side favors Arizona.
📊 The numbers
Park & weather: Chase Field, a hitter-friendly park, retractable roof likely closed and climate controlled in Arizona summer heat.
