MLB 5/3 Preview: Diamondbacks Vs. Rangers

<h2>Diamondbacks @ Rangers &#8211; First Pitch: 2:05 p.m.</h2>
</div>
<div>Expected Forecast: Light Rain, 74°</div>
</div>

<p>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&#8217;ve got a total of 8.5.</p>
<p>When it comes to handicapping, things can get a little tricky when you&#8217;ve got a veteran pitcher facing a rookie making his big-league debut. But here&#8217;s the scoop on this Arizona newbie: he&#8217;s ranked #51 in the top 100 MLB prospects. This 6&#8217;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!</p>
<p>Now that he&#8217;s been called up from AAA, the big question is: how will the Rangers&#8217; 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&#8217;d recommend looking at the first five innings and backing the under.</p>
