Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Prediction: Rodríguez Gives Arizona the Pitching Edge
Analysis updated September 23, 2026 at 11:05 PM CDT
Arizona visits Colorado at Coors Field on Thursday, September 24, with first pitch scheduled for 3:10 p.m. ET.
The pitching edge doesn't settle the bet
Eduardo Rodríguez's 2.89 ERA against Tanner Gordon's 6.01 makes Arizona the likely winner, assuming both probable starters take the mound. FanDuel Research, the sportsbook's analysis publication, lists that pairing. SPF prices the Diamondbacks at -187, which requires a win rate above 65.2% to break even.
Radio outlet iHeart / Rock 101 reports a 1.230 WHIP for Rodríguez across 31 starts, compared with Gordon's 1.555 across 11. That gives Arizona another reason to favor its starter: Rodríguez has allowed fewer walks and hits per inning. Those numbers alone, though, don't establish that Arizona's chance of winning clears the price's threshold. With lineups and bullpen availability unconfirmed, the moneyline recommendation is Pass.
SPF's total is 10, with the over at -115 and the under at -105. Gordon's ERA points toward scoring opportunities for Arizona, while Rodríguez's points toward run prevention for Colorado's opponent. Without lineup, bullpen or weather information to assess the full game, neither side of the total warrants a wager.
