The Rangers are entering this series off a loss and got swept in their 3-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 in their last series. They enter this game with a 61-59 record overall and have a home record of 37-24. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. The Rangers won the 1st game of this series on Monday.

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 61-59 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 37-24 home record. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 57-62 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NL West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 27-32 road record this season. The Diamondbacks have been the hotter team lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 games while the Rangers are 4-6, but the Rangers took the 1st game of this series with the D-Backs blowing a big lead and now the Rangers are going to have the better pitching matchup here. The Rangers are going with Kelly who they acquired from the Diamondbacks a few weeks ago and he has looked great this season. He is 9-7 with a 3.38 ERA and he hasn't been giving up a lot of runs this year. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start and his team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting, but he will be looking to bounce back with a better start against his old team and he also has the better bullpen to help him out. The Diamondbacks are going with Gallen in this one and he hasn't looked great this year. He is 9-12 with a 5.31 ERA and he has been giving up a lot of runs this year. His team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting and he is coming off a good start in which he gave up 1 earned run, but that was also against the worst offense in the MLB, the Rockies, and that hasn't been a common theme for him this year. The Rangers have the much better pitching in this one and their offense started to wake up in the 1st game of this series too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

“It’s disappointing. There’s no doubt about it. This type of loss hurts.” - Torey Lovullo after his team’s loss against the Rangers in their game on Monday.

“For me, I feel like I let the guys down tonight by not going deep into the game, giving up those early runs. They picked me up. Anytime you can come from behind to get the win is huge. I think that's the identity of a good team, right? There's going to be different ways you have to be able to do it.” - Nathan Eovaldi after their win against the Diamondbacks in their game on Monday.
