Arizona will hand the ball to Madison Bumgarner for Friday's game. He is 6-10 with a 3.83 ERA over 21 starts. Last start, Bumgarner tossed six innings, giving up eight hits and four earned runs, while failing to notch a K in a loss against the Atlanta Braves. The Rockies offense that he'll be up against ranks 12th in runs per game, and in their past seven, they're averaging 3.4 runs per contest. They haven't hit much on the road, though, and they're still missing Kris Bryant. Bumgarner has a 4.61 FIP, meaning he's been somewhat fortunate this year. Still, the Rockies haven't been hitting well away from Coors Field.

German Marquez will start Friday for Colorado. He is 6-9 with a 5.29 ERA in 20 starts this season. Despite the poor numbers, the right-hander has been better. He's sporting a 3.16 ERA in his last four appearances, which is a positive sign. Marquez also has a 3.95 expected FIP, indicating that his 5.29 ERA is misleading.

The Arizona offense is averaging 3.4 runs per game in their last seven. Similarly to Colorado, they have been struggling. Marquez's 4.20 road ERA shows that his numbers are lackluster due to Coors Field's hitter-friendly nature. Look for the former All-Star to buckle down against a subpar Diamondbacks lineup.
