Texas Rangers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on Arizona in this one. It’ll be interesting to see how both teams handle this spot without a starting pitcher announced, but the thing for me here is that Arizona’s been playing the much better baseball and feel like the team that’s in a much more realistic playoff position entering this series. I think Arizona’s the better team so give me the Diamondbacks here.
