Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction: Diamondbacks to avoid defeat

On Wednesday, MLB action moves to Globe Life Field for a matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers. This is the second and final game of a short two-game series this week. The Rangers started off the season with a two-run victory on Tuesday.

On the other side, the Rangers competed against the Yankees over the weekend and emerged victorious in three of the four games. On Tuesday, Texas was able to complete their comeback by scoring five runs between the fifth and seventh innings. Jon Gray, the starter, ended the game with 5.1 innings pitched, four earned runs, eight hits, and one walk. The Rangers have a record of 17-38 in their last 55 games played against teams from the NL West and are 7-15 in their last 22 games played in game two of a series. Texas has a record of 12-29 in their previous 41 games played on Wednesday.

Over the course of the weekend, the Diamondbacks competed against the Rockies and were victorious in the first two games before suffering a loss by a score of 12-4 on Sunday. On Tuesday, Arizona lost 6-4 after having an early lead of 4-1 in the game. Zac Gallen started the game and pitched five innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits. The Diamondbacks have a record of 6-2 in their previous eight games played against teams from other leagues, and they have a record of 9-4 in their last 13 games played in game two of a series. Arizona's record in their last 67 away games against teams that start a left-handed pitcher is 19-48.

We will stick with the Rangers. Over his last three games, Heaney has performed admirably. He's allowed five runs in 17.0 innings on 11 hits and six walks and has a 1-1 record. Heaney should also have a good showing. Texas had a decent offensive day on Tuesday, as their bullpen went 3.2 innings while allowing one hit, three walks, and striking out two. The Rangers gave a strong performance in all areas. I hope they can carry this momentum into game two.
