Rangers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
DeSclafani has been hit or miss this season with a 4.20 ERA, and he has a 4.40 ERA on the road through 14.1 innings. Leiter is starting to settle in, allowing 22 hits and 11 earned runs in his last 28.2 innings. In 55 home innings, Leiter has a 3.60 ERA and .217 allowed batting average. Leiter didn’t look like an MLB pitcher to start his career, but that’s clearly changing. I’ll side with the Rangers at home with the more reliable arm.
