Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers Betting Prediction
This should be another good game. But, this one is going to go to the Rangers.
Oddly enough, Texas had dropped three straight home games in the postseason before the come-from-behind win. After eliminating Baltimore, they lost three in a row against Houston.
Jordan Montgomery has been good all postseason, and look for that to continue. The bats come out, and the Rangers take a stranglehold on the series, going up 2-0.
