Last night we saw the DBacks come back late to walk it off in a 2-1 victory, but they were stifled by reliever Zach Agnos for half the game before scoring. They went 1-9 with runners in scoring position, while leaving 10 men on base, and facing Tomoyuki Sugano tonight, with an xERA nearing 8, should make things a bit easier. I'm siding with Arizona to score some runs and Michael Soroka to hold the Rockies bats at bay. He was one out away from a quality start vs this lineup in his last start, but that was in Denver and he gets the positive shift to his home park now.

The Rockies play a hot Diamondbacks squad that has won five straight games and is only 4.5 games out of first place. The Rockies are 12.5 back in the NL West at 19-32 and have lost their last three games. Arizona has been hitting the ball well during their run, with all their key players hitting at once for the first time all season. Michael Soroka pitches tonight, and he's 6-2 with a 3:49 ERA, having his best season since 2019 with Atlanta. He beat the Rockies 5 days ago in Denver, allowing only two runs. Diamondbacks to win on the run line.
