Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
Arizona comes into this game after picking up a nice win on Sunday Night Baseball, but they need to keep winning if they want to make the postseason. The D-Backs are currently in the second Wild Card spot in the NL, but the Mets and Braves are right behind them. Arizona is 39-31 at home this season, while Texas is 29-40 on the road. The Rangers have had success over the last couple of weeks, but I still don’t trust them on the road. Zac Gallen has been extremely inconsistent, but I am going to back the high-scoring Diamondbacks here. Take Arizona to get the win.
