Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are 5-3 in their last 8 head-to-head meetings against the Diamondbacks, and are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in Texas. Under is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -150 home favorites. Texas is rightfully favored, as they have a slightly better overall record, and have been very strong at home, while Arizona is below average on the road. Gallen has been a shadow of his former self this season, while Kelly is facing his former team and there will certainly be some revenge factor. Texas also has the 4th-best bullpen to back up Kelly up, so I expect them to bounce back and get the job done at home troday.
