NL WILD CARD SHOWDOWN - ROCKIES/D'BACKS
(MLB) Colorado vs. Arizona,
Money Line: -167.00 Arizona (Home)
Result: Win
These two teams know each other extremely well, but note that Arizona Diamondbacks have won seven of the last nine meetings. I think they have a clear edge here in the NL Wild Card game with home field advantage and Zack Greinke on the mound.

Greinke (17-7, 3.20 ERA) struggled at Chase Field in his first season as a Diamondback, but he has really learned to master the ballpark and is 13-1 behind a 2.87 ERA in 18 home starts here in 2017. Greinke is 2-1 with a 3.41 ERA and 37 Ks through 34 1/3 innings of work against Colorado this season.

The Rockies hand the ball to Jon Gray (10-4, 3.67 ERA) who has been dominant in two starts at Chase Field on the season, fanning 20 through 13 innings while winning two out of two starts. We can however note that he usually puts a fair amount of runners on base against Arizona, and the current Diamondbacks are batting a combined .330 against the right-hander despite Paul Goldschmidt going 0-for-11.

I expect Goldy to do much better in this contest and lead the Diamondbacks to a victory and a spot in the NLDS against the Dodgers.

My selection is an 8* play on Arizona Diamondbacks.
