2017 has been a special year for both the Rockies and the Diamondbacks thus far, but now we get to go head-to-head for first place in the NL West (scummy Dodgers notwithstanding). Both teams are playing well, and they come into this matchup with the second and third best records in baseball respectively (again, scummy Dodgers notwithstanding – at the time of this writing). Both offenses are electric and the pitching staffs have been very good, so we should be in for quite the treat! Let’s see what we can expect.
A special series like this warrants a special preview.
