8* play on Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Arizona Diamondbacks bounced back from a home loss to Colorado on Opening Day, beating the Rockies 11-6 in Game 2. I think they'll carry that momentum over into Game 3 with another favorable pitching matchup. My money is on Arizona.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Patrick Corbin will go for the D'Backs, and he's always been tough at home in Arizona. Since 2013 he's 10-7 with a 3.01 ERA in 25 starts at Chase Field. He had a fantastic Spring, going 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in five appearances. The Rockies send Tyler Chatwood to the mound, and he's coming off his second Tommy John surgery.

2. Paul Goldschmidt - The Arizona slugger was 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run and four RBIs in Game 2. He hit .333 with three home runs and 11 RBIs this Spring, and he's likely to challenge for MVP in 2016.

3. X-Factor - Arizona is 9-0 in Corbin's last nine starts against the Rockies. The Rockies are 39-89 in their last 128 road games.
