Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. The Rangers managed to rally and take over the momentum with their walk off win on Monday and that’s the story of these two teams right now, just two teams headed in different directions. Arizona just is finding ways to struggle their way through the stretch while the Rangers are making a real push for the postseason. It’s not the biggest and highest quality pitching matchup here, but I think this is still a Rangers spot when all is said and done here. Give me the Rangers in this one.
