Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I know the Diamondbacks just stomped Texas out on Tuesday, but this is a really winnable spot for the Rangers who have come on stronger as the series have gone on over the last couple of weeks. Merrill Kelly has had some issues in some of his recent outings, and I think the Rangers can take advantage at a great plus price. Give me Texas.
