Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

Sportsgrid-Staff

Diamondbacks @ Rangers – First Pitch: 2:05 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Light Rain, 74°
 

Arizona versus the Rangers with Brandon Pfaadt on the mound for the Snakes, while Texas counters with Andrew Heaney. The Diamondbacks took an L yesterday with Zac Gallen on the mound and look to bounce back and continue their surprising start. The Rangers are priced at -124, and we’ve got a total of 8.5.

When it comes to handicapping, things can get a little tricky when you’ve got a veteran pitcher facing a rookie making his big-league debut. But here’s the scoop on this Arizona newbie: he’s ranked #51 in the top 100 MLB prospects. This 6’4″, 220-pound kid has been smashing records in the minors, striking out 218 batters in 2022 – the most in minor league baseball in 21 years!

Now that he’s been called up from AAA, the big question is: how will the Rangers’ pro hitters handle him the third time through the order? Will they figure him out after a couple of chances to see his stuff? Well, in situations like this, with hyped-up rookies making their debuts, I’d recommend looking at the first five innings and backing the under.
