The Arizona Diamondbacks put an 8-2 beating on Colorado Rockies Thursday night. They got to Colorado's starter Jon Gray early, and that's likely to be the case again Friday night as Rockies left-hander Tyler Anderson has a 4.85 ERA in his previous four starts against the D'Backs.

Arizona hands the ball to another southpaw in Robbie Ray who was 15-5 with a 2.89 ERA in 2017 and led the National League with a rate of 12.11 strikeouts per nine innings. He has a 5.21 ERA in nine career starts against Colorado but recorded 18 Ks in 12 2/3 innings against the Rockies last season.

Arizona came out swinging hot bats last night and I like them to come through again here on Friday.

8* play on Arizona Diamondbacks.
