Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m looking at the over in this spot. Rocker has been a mess over the last two months, and he now has a 4.61 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the season. Same things can be said about Kelly, who has a 5.06 ERA and 1.47 WHIP on the season. Through 59 innings at home, Kelly has a 6.10 ERA and a .287 allowed batting average. Expect some fireworks on Friday night. Give me the over.
