(927) Texas Rangers at (928) Arizona Diamondbacks
(3%) ARIZONA. In addition to needing wins, the Diamondbacks have a score to settle. Recall that the Rangers beat them in five games in the World Series last year. The final game saw Gallen pitch great but Eovaldi was even better. Texas went on to win 5-0. Earlier this season, the Rangers swept a 2-game series at Texas. Enough's enough. Gallen and co. will finally get a small measure of payback. Gallen delivered six shutout innings his last start, striking out eight. He's 11-6 with a 3.69 ERA on the season. Eovaldi has similar overall numbers but his ERA climbs to 4.24 on the road. In fact, he's got a 0.88 WHIP at home but a 1.34 mark on the road. The Dbax got back on track with a big win on Sunday night before having yesterday off. I expect them to carry the momentum into this game as they start this series with an important victory.
