The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers meet Wednesday in MLB action at Globe Life Field. The Diamondbacks look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Rangers need a win after losing 10 of their last 11 games.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Diamondbacks have won five of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Pavin Smith leads the Diamondbacks with 93 hits and 32 RBI while Eduardo Escobar and Josh Rojas have combined for 176 hits and 93 RBI. Madison Bumgarner gets the ball, and he is 4-6 with a 5.09 ERA and 69 strikeouts this season. Bumgarner is 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA and 13 strikeouts in his career against the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers have scored seven runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last eight games. The Rangers have lost nine straight games when scoring three or less runs. Isiah Kiner-Falefa leads the Rangers with 103 hits and 33 RBI while Adolis Garcia and Nate Lowe have combined for 175 hits and 109 RBI. Jordan Lyles gets the ball, and he is 5-7 with a 5.20 ERA and 84 strikeouts this season. Lyles is 3-8 with a 6.49 ERA and 49 strikeouts in his career against the Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks are 12-42 in their last 54 road games and 13-48 in their last 61 overall. The Rangers are 1-4 in their last 5 Wednesday games and 13-38 in their last 51 overall. The over is 6-2 in Diamondbacks last 8 interleague games. The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

While they won last night, I’m not laying juice with the Rangers. I’m also not laying juice with Jordan Lyles, who has an ERA over five on the season and is allowing a .287 batting average. The Diamondbacks aren’t world beaters, but they’ve shown more signs of life lately. Bumgarner has also allowed just nine hits and two earned runs in his last 11 innings. Give me the Diamondbacks and the plus money.
