Diamondbacks Look to Avoid Coors Field Chaos as September Stretch Run Heats Up

The Diamondbacks roll into Coors Field on September 22nd, and if history's any guide, we're in for another run-fest in the thin air. When these two last met back in mid-August, the Rockies squeaked out a 6-4 win in a game that sailed over the 9.5 total—DarkHorse nailed that one, by the way. Arizona's got to be licking their chops at the prospect of another offensive explosion at altitude, but they also know Colorado's unpredictable enough to make life miserable for playoff hopefuls down the stretch.

The Snakes need wins badly if they're staying in the postseason conversation, and Coors is typically where bats come alive and pitching staffs go to die. The Rockies, meanwhile, have nothing to lose and everything to play spoiler with. They've shown they can hang around in these high-scoring affairs, and home cooking in late September has a way of producing chaos.

DarkHorse hasn't dropped a pick yet for this one, so we're flying blind on the official recommendation. But if you're eyeing this game, remember: Coors gonna Coors. Expect fireworks, expect weirdness, and maybe keep that over ticket handy. The desert crew better bring their A-game—or at least pack extra arms for the bullpen.
