Diamondbacks vs Rangers Prediction
The Dbacks are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Rangers but are 2-3 in their last 5 visits in Texas.
In this Diamondbacks vs Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -140 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records but I like the Rangers in this one, as Soroka has been atrocious on the road, with a 12.46 ERA in two road starts. On the flip side, Eovaldi has been excellent lately with just one earned run in his last two starts and has been better at home. On top of that, the Rangers have the best bullpen in baseball and are far better against right-handed pitching, so I expect them to get the job done at home in this matchup.
