World Series Rematch Feature A Pair of Sub-.500 Teams

D'Backs vs Rangers Betting Odds Has Arizona As A Rare Road Favorite

Pfaadt and Dunning Hit The Mound in Rematch of the 2023 World Series

The World Series hangover is in full effort as the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers meet for the first time since last year’s World Series.

The D’Backs vs Rangers Betting odds have Arizona as a road favorite for just the second time in the last 17 matchups with the Rangers.

While the Rangers topped the Diamondbacks to win the franchise’s first World Series, Arizona won three of the four meetings during the 2023 regular season.

  • The MLB lines have Arizona priced at -120 to win the game outright, with +135 odds to cover at -1.5 on the run line.

There are even MLB odds for Texas to open the two-game series with a victory.

When looking at the MLB standings, Texas is 3.5 games behind Seattle in the American League West Division. Arizona is fourth in the National League West Division but just two games out of the final MLB playoff spot in the National League.

Texas is tied for seventh at +2000 in the World Series odds, while Arizona is 14th at +5000 in the championship odds.

D-Backs Showing Signs of Life

Arizona began the month of May by being outscored 28-2 in its first three games to fall to 14-20.

Since then, Arizona has started to string some wins together. The Diamondbacks have won three series with one of them against the World Series favorite Los Angeles Dodgers. Keep that in mind when looking at the D’Backs vs Rangers Betting odds.

Arizona has won 11 of its last 19 games despite some of its top hitters still struggling with consistency.
Over the last two weeks, seven relief pitchers haven’t allowed an earned run while Brandon Pfaadt leads the starting pitching staff.

Pfaadt, who hasn’t allowed more than three runs in his last seven games, is set to make his 11th start of the baseball season in the first of the two games against the Rangers.

Arizona has won just five of its last 20 games against teams from the American League.

Tough Sledding for the Defending Champions

The Rangers head into the two-game set against the Diamondbacks having lost their last five series. The Rangers had dropped 13 of 15 MLB games before avoiding being swept the third time in May with a 6-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday behind two home runs from Corey Seager.

Dane Dunning is coming off his shortest start of the season in a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Dunning threw three scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks in the World Series. That could factor into the D’Backs vs Rangers Betting odds.

Although the Rangers are batting under .200 over the last six games, Seager is starting to heat up with four home runs in his last six games.

The Rangers come into this game having lost six of their last seven games. They have won three of their last five one-run games.

Who’s Hot

  • Jose LeClerc, Texas Rangers P: LeClerc has given up two hits, and one run seven strikeouts in 6.1 innings over his last five games.
  • Corey Seager, Texas Rangers SS: Seager has six home runs in his last five games and takes a 10-game hitting streak into Tuesday’s game.
  • Ryan Thompson, Arizona Diamondbacks P: Thompson hasn’t allowed a run in his last 11 appearances with 13 strikeouts in his last 13 innings.
  • Christian Walker, Arizona Diamondbacks 1B: Walker is 7-for-20 with three extra-base hits in his last five games.

Who’s Not

  • Evan Carter, Texas Rangers OF: Carter has no hits and seven strikeouts in his last 20 at-bats.
  • Kevin Ginkel, Arizona Diamondbacks P: Ginkel has surrendered nine hits and seven runs in four innings over his last four appearances.
  • Jonathan Hernandez, Texas Rangers P: Hernandez has allowed five hits and six runs in four innings in his last three appearances.
  • Gabriel Moreno, Arizona Diamondbacks C: Moreno is 4-for-26 with six strikeouts in his last eight games.

Diamondbacks vs Rangers Injury Update

Pitchers Jose Castillo, Luis Frias, and Miguel Castro join outfielder Jorge Barrosa on the MLB injured list for the Diamondbacks.

Pitcher Jose Urena is questionable for Texas while rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford is on the injured list.

D’Backs vs Rangers Betting Preview

Six of the last seven times Arizona played at Texas, the game went over the total.

Texas is just 8-13 as an underdog this season and 2-1 against the run line as the home underdog. Arizona has covered in just two if its nine games as the road favorite.

These are two of the baseball teams underperforming the most against the run line with the Diamondbacks 21-30 and the Rangers 21-33.

The Rangers have covered in just nine of its 25 home games with only seven of those games landing over the total.

Something to consider when looking at recent MLB scores, Arizona is 19-14 when facing a right-handed starting pitcher.

With nearly a 50% chance of rain on Tuesday night, the retractable roof could be in play.

Four of Arizona’s last five games went under the total but four of the last five games on the road went over.
Fourteen of the last `18 home games for the Rangers went under the total.

When looking at the Rangers standings, the reigning World Series champions lost their last six games to National League teams, and with Texas facing Pfaadt on Tuesday, that is a trend that might continue.
