Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/17/26

Game 3 and the rubber match of the series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies will be played on Sunday afternoon in Colorado. It seems to be that every year even before the season begins, the Diamondbacks know they will be competing for a wildcard spot with the Los Angeles Dodgers in their division, and they need to secure wins against weaker teams like the Rockies to do that. They will have the pitching matchup in their favor on Sunday, as they send Michael Soroka to the mound to take on Michael Lorenzen. Soroka has been dominant recently, only giving up 1 earned run in his last 2 combined starts — in which he pitched a total of 12.2 innings. Meanwhile, Lorenzen has not been great recently, giving up a total of 13 earned runs in his last 15.1 innings pitched. As a team, the Rockies are allowing 5.1 runs per game, which ranks 26th in the MLB.

If Soroka can keep the few bats that can do damage in the Rockies lineup in check, the Diamondbacks should be successful in this game. Give me the Diamondbacks to take the tiebreaker of this series.
