In this Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -165 home favorites. The Cardinals are rightfully favored, as they have a slightly better overall record, and have been very strong at home, while the Dbacks are below average on the road. Texas sends Eovaldi on the mound, who leads the league in ERA, with 1.38, while Nelson for the Dbacks has been weaker on the road, with a 4.50 road ERA. Texas also has the 4th-best bullpen to back up Eovaldi, so I expect them to take care of business at home in this one.
