Free Betting Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks -137
The Diamondbacks have a good offense and that will be required to keep up with the Rangers offense here. The pitching for the Diamondbacks is not the top of the league and definitely will not be anywhere near the level it needs to be to keep the Rangers contained. Look for this game to be a shootout, though, and the over is a possibility and should be strongly considered as both starters have struggled this year. Final Score, Arizona Diamondbacks win 10-8.
