Diamondbacks vs Rangers Preview, Picks
Arizona comes in hot after sweeping the Rockies in a three-game set (6-1, 6-5, 13-6), while Texas is looking to rebound from a sweep at the hands of the Phillies (9-1, 3-2, 4-2).
On the mound, Ryne Nelson will start for Arizona. He has allowed two runs or fewer in nine of his last 10 outings, going 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA during that span. The Rangers counter with Nathan Eovaldi, whose 1.38 ERA through 19 starts is the lowest in franchise history at this stage of a season.
This game also triggers Evan Abrams’ “Public Fades Humidity = Unders” system. It targets regular-season matchups where elevated humidity (45–95%), moderate temperatures, and neutral winds align. While the public assumes humidity fuels offense, certain environments show the opposite effect.
In these situations, the home team’s recent games have stayed under at a high rate, with their five-game over percentage below 40%, pointing to a lack of offensive rhythm. The market has nudged the total down from open to close, and the public is modestly backing the over (just 6–29% of bets).
With two in-form starters, a weather setup that historically suppresses runs, and a Rangers offense lacking recent punch, this spot profiles as a sneaky under play.
Pick: Under 7.5 (-105)
