Game Overview
The Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks meet in the final game of a four-game series at Coors Field.

Key Factors to Consider
- The Rockies have recently performed better in this series, winning two of the first three games. Arizona sits third in the NL West with an average of 4.9 runs scored per game but the Rockies are holding them to about 3.8 runs per game in this matchup. Coloradoβs pitching, especially Senzatela, has been underperforming with a high ERA around 7.34.
- Colorado holds a slight advantage in the ongoing series, leading 2-1. Previous matchups indicate a competitive but slightly Rockies-favored trend at Coors Field, emphasizing offense-heavy games.
- No major injuries reported for either team that will impact this game significantly. Nabil Crismatt is expected to be added to Arizonaβs 26-man roster for this start, indicating a healthy pitching staff for the Dbacks.
- Playing at Coors Field, a hitter-friendly ballpark known for high scoring games due to altitude. This supports likelihood of a high total score. Weather conditions not specified but Denver in August tends to be dry and warm, favoring hitters.
- Arizona needs a win to prevent further damage to their playoff chances and to split the series. Rockies have home advantage and momentum, motivated to close out the series positively.
