Rangers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Diamondbacks are coming off a strong week, and Nelson has pitched well enough this season to be worth a look. The Rangers are also coming off bad losses where the offense has been lifeless. With that said, Eovaldi has been ridiculous with his 1.38 ERA and 0.84 WHIP, and he’s allowed 22 hits and two earned runs in his last 38.2 innings. In 46.2 home innings, Eovaldi has a 1.54 ERA and .177 allowed batting average. There’s just no stepping in front of that. Give me the Rangers at home.
