Two NL West Division rivals will square off when the Arizona Diamondbacks travel to Denver, Colorado, to face the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 3:10 PM ET on Wednesday afternoon and will air on DBTV and ESPN+.

The Arizona Diamondbacks won the NL Pennant last season before losing to the Texas Rangers in the World Series. It looked like they had carried the momentum into this season after winning their first series of the season with a 3-1 series win at home against the Colorado Rockies. In those matchups, the Diamondbacks outscored the Rockies by an average of 8 to 3.5 runs per game. 

However, since the season-opening series win, the Diamondbacks have compiled a record of 2-6 and have seen their pitching staff go from allowing 3.5 runs per game through their first four games to allowing an average of 4.75 runs per game. However, their bats remain hot, averaging 5.5 runs per game. 

Arizona ended its five-game losing streak with a 3-2 road win against the Colorado Rockies in Game 2 of the series. It will look to win a series for the second time against the Colorado Rockies this season when it travels to face them in Game 3.

Not much is expected from the Colorado Rockies this season, as they entered the season with an over/under win total of 60.5 games. They have not gotten off to a good start, as they have lost their first three series to start the 2024 MLB season following a 1-3 series loss on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks, a 0-3 series sweep on the road against the Chicago Cubs, and a 1-2 series loss at home against the Tampa Bay Rays. 

The Rockies have an opportunity to win their first series of the season with a win in Game 3 of the series at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, Colorado has struggled in the series against Arizona, having lost seven of the last ten and two of the previous three games. They have lost by an average margin of 2.9 runs per game over the last ten and 1.33 runs per game over the previous three games in the series.
