Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Rangers are still in the playoff race, but I’m not getting positive vibes, and Rocker has allowed 45 hits and 23 earned runs in his last 32 innings. It’s been a disaster for Rocker over the last month. Pfaadt has pitched some of his best ball over a similar time frame, and he has a 3.53 ERA and 1.15 WHIP on the season. The Diamondbacks are playing the better ball; they’re at home, have the better pitcher, and they’re in a better position to steal a postseason spot. Give me the Diamondbacks.
