In this Rangers vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -135 home favorites. Gallen takes the mound for the Dbacks, and he has finally put together a couple of good starts after a mediocre season, but he is still weaker at home, with a 5.20 home ERA. The Rangers were one of the hottest teams in baseball before yesterday’s loss, and Leiter on the mound has been in good form lately, with a 2.52 ERA across his last 5 starts, and in his only start against the Dbacks this season, he gave up just one run. On top of that, Texas has the 7th-best bullpen ERA in baseball to back him up, so I like the guests in a bounce-back spot today. Take the Texas Rangers on the moneyline on the road.
