Rockies vs Diamondbacks Prediction 24 September 2026
📡 Arizona kept their Wild Card hopes alive with a 7-2 win, handing Colorado their 100th loss of the season. The Diamondbacks are riding a three-game winning streak, having beaten the Yankees twice before heading to Denver. For the Rockies, the competitive part of their season ended long ago, while the visitors still have a mathematical shot at October baseball. Game two of the series features a starting matchup between Mason Adams and Merrill Kelly.
Arizona have regained the upper hand in the series after suffering back-to-back defeats in August.
📊 Arizona have taken six of their last ten matchups against Colorado. The Rockies claimed back-to-back wins in August, but before that, the Diamondbacks had won four out of five meetings, including dominant 9-0 and 9-1 victories. Yesterday’s 7-2 result once again swung the head-to-head momentum back in Arizona’s favor, as they capitalized on early opportunities and kept the hosts from mounting any sort of comeback.
Head-to-head statistics Rockies - Diamondbacks
The Rockies have reached their 100th loss and head into Game 2 after a sluggish start to the series.
The Rockies suffered their 100th loss of the season after falling 2-7 in the series opener. Coors Field always has the potential to turn a game on its head, but last night the hosts failed to capitalize on their home advantage, trailing for most of the contest. With nothing left to play for in the standings, Colorado are focusing on developing young talent and searching for bright spots in individual stretches. Meanwhile, Arizona arrive with a completely different sense of urgency as they chase results that matter.
Match Results: Colorado Rockies
The Diamondbacks have strung together three consecutive wins and are still clinging to their last hopes for October.
The Diamondbacks entered a pivotal week with virtually no margin for error, but responded in style with three straight wins. Over that stretch, they racked up 20 runs-five and eight against New York, followed by seven in Denver. In their last ten outings, Arizona’s offense has produced 47 runs with an OPS hovering around .800, so the team heads into the softest part of their schedule with a lineup that’s getting the job done. Even slim wild card hopes make every game crucial for the visitors.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Mason Adams takes the mound for Colorado, carrying a 0-1 record, a 5.09 ERA, and 23 strikeouts. His most recent outing was a tough one, as he allowed six earned runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings. While Adams has turned in a few stronger performances earlier, he’s still searching for consistency at the Major League level.
Merrill Kelly enters with a 9-14 record, a 5.00 ERA, and 111 strikeouts. His season numbers are far from ideal, but in two of his last three starts, he has limited opponents to no more than three earned runs. On September 11, Kelly gave up just one run over 4.1 innings, and in his latest appearance, he allowed three over 4.2 frames. While Kelly isn’t a lock for a deep outing either, his experience and ability to control the tempo give the visitors a clear edge on the mound.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Coors Field and Kelly’s ERA hovering around 5.00 make Arizona far from a sure bet, especially if Colorado’s offense finds its groove early. Still, the gap between these teams is clear across several areas. The Diamondbacks are riding a three-game winning streak, took the series opener 7-2 last night, and remain in the hunt for a wild card spot. Adams enters this start after allowing six earned runs over 4.1 innings, while Arizona’s bats have racked up 20 runs across their last three victories. Colorado, already saddled with 100 losses, have nothing left to play for in terms of postseason hopes. If the visitors maintain their current offensive rhythm, they have more than enough firepower to pull away before the late innings. We’re backing an Arizona Diamondbacks win.
