Rangers vs Diamondbacks Prediction 

Texas comes into this matchup after winning two out of three against the Cubs and they have allowed zero runs in their last two games. The Rangers are 9-9 at home this year, while the Diamondbacks are 7-11 on the road. Arizona won two out of three against the Mets, but they have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five. The Diamondbacks are starting Soroka, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts, while Eovaldi has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five. Take the Rangers here, as I trust Eovaldi just a bit more than Soroka.
