They now get 10 at home with LA, San Diego, and Colorado. They go 6-4, and they have had a 16-11 April. Pretty solid start for them.

why is 10 at home against the dodgers, padres and rockies, easy?

might not be easy but-
Dodgers- starting 1 lefty- Robbie Ray(with 1.96 ERA) in series.
Padres- 4 games- their team road ERA is 5.11 now.
Rockies- 3 games- seeing 2 of their worst starters

6-4 would be a very reasonable goal.

the rockies are due to break out, though. Look at their wRC+ and tell me you expect it to continue like that

2 of the 3 starters vs Arizona though-
Freeland 4.91 ERA. 4.55 FIP
Anderson 7.32, 5.56

the 3rd starter projected is Rusin who has a career 4.73 ERA and 4.26 FIP.

tbh, i don't totally pay attention to that stuff. Rockies could sweep them and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. I just don't really buy into early season numbers. Things always have a way of evening out
