The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have looked good in their games this season with their 60-59 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL West. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 36-24 home record. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 57-61 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NL West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 27-31 road record this season. The Rangers haven't looked great lately as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games and just got swept at home by the Phillies in their last series while the Diamondbacks are 6-4 in their last 10 games and have been starting to roll. The Diamondbacks also have one of the best offenses in the MLB this season, but their pitching hasn't been great all year and that is a big reason why they have fallen out of the playoff race. They are going with DeSclafani in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 1-2 with a 4.20 ERA and the team hasn't had a ton of success with him. He didn't give up any runs in his last start, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and the team has still lost 2 games in a row with him starting. The Rangers are going with Leiter in this one and he hasn't been great this season either. He is 7-6 with a 4.05 ERA and his team has also lost 2 games in a row with him starting. He is coming off a good start in which he gave up 1 earned run though, looking a lot better in his starts lately, and the Rangers also have the better bullpen to help out if he gets into trouble. The Rangers have also looked like a different team at home this year and they need to bounce back after getting swept in their last series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.
