Rangers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Diamondbacks have picked things up these last couple of weeks and Gallen is finding his form lately, allowing 13 hits and three runs in his last 12 innings. The Rangers are racking up the losses and while Kelly should be motivated to stick it to his former team, the Diamondbacks hitters have seen him up close for seven years. The Diamondbacks should have an idea of what’s coming and have an advantage at the plate. I’ll ride with the Diamondbacks.
