Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Prediction and Odds for Sunday, August 14 (Coors is Gonna Coors Today)
By Ben Heisler
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies wrap up their series from Coors Field this afternoon with the highest total on the board at 12 runs.
So far, it's been nothing but unders in the first two games, with the Diamondbacks blanking Colorado 6-0 on Saturday with a total reaching the double digits at 11.5.
Left-hander Tommy Henry (1-1, 3.75 ERA) goes for Arizona, while right-hander Ryan Feltner (2-3, 6.02 ERA) take the bump for Colorado.

Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Prediction and Pick
After two straight games of very few runs, I think we see the Coors Field bandbox we know and love on Sunday.
Henry's numbers look good on the surface with a 3.75 ERA in two starts this year. But his Fielding Independent Pitching is more than two full runs higher at 5.78. That doesn't bode well pitching in Coors Field.
Furthermore, over the last week, both Randal Grichuk and Brendan Rogers have been on fire for the Rockies; hitting .476 and .444 respectively. The matchup also sets up well for Colorado against the left-hander Henry where the Rockies' are stacked from the right side. No team has a better weighted on-base average, or wOBA against lefties at home than the Rockies (.373).
Meanwhile, Arizona should also tee off against Feltner in perfect hitting conditions in Denver. The right-hander owns a HR/9 of 1.55, and has allowed eight earned runs over his last 9.1 innings.
I look forward to a little west coast home run derby this afternoon, as both offenses bust out on getaway day.
LEAN: OVER 12 (-110)
