Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks here. I can’t take away from what the Texas Rangers have done as of late to give themselves a fighting chance in the NL Wild Card hunt, but the thing is that the Rangers might be in the camp of too little, too late. Arizona’s still crushing right-handed pitching and have their ace on the mound at home where he’s been at his best for the last couple of seasons. Should be a great series, but in the end, I have to ride with the Diamondbacks here. Give me Arizona.
