Who will win Rangers vs Diamondbacks today: Diamondbacks (58%)

Play up to 60%.
Brandon Pfaadt is settling in lately for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He owns a 3.91 xERA over his last two starts, showing strong command while allowing just 0.73 HR/9.
Pfaadt hasn't been untouchable, but he's limiting the long ball and working deep into games, while the Texas Rangers' offense sits right around league average on the road.
Kumar Rocker, meanwhile, has surrendered 2.24 HR/9 over his previous two appearances with a 5.35 FIP. The right-hander allowed seven earned runs during that span, and the Diamondbacks have posted a respectable 103 wRC+ recently.
It's not a massive edge, but Pfaadt's recent profile gives Arizona the advantage at this price.
COVERS INTEL: Pfaadt has limited opponents to a 29.9% hard-hit rate over the last month, slightly better than his season average of 34%. 
Rangers vs Diamondbacks Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (50%)
Play up to 55%.
The bullpen numbers point toward a relatively low-scoring finish in Arizona. The Diamondbacks' relief corps owns a 3.17 FIP over the last week and has done an excellent job limiting home runs during that stretch.
Texas' bullpen hasn't been as sharp, posting a 4.02 xERA with 1.57 HR/9 allowed over the same span, but those numbers still aren't enough to scare me off the Under.
With Arizona's relievers pitching well and neither offense grading as an elite unit right now, I like this matchup to stay below 8.5 runs.
Rangers vs Diamondbacks home run prediction: Corey Seager (19%)
Play up to 25%.
Corey Seager is in great power form. He's gone deep three times in his last six games with a .360 ISO during that span, while also posting a strong 17.1% barrel rate over his last 11 games.
His recent hard-hit numbers don't jump off the page, but Pfaadt has been prone to fly balls lately, giving Seager opportunities to get the ball in the air.
Arizona's bullpen has pitched well recently, which adds some risk, but Seager's current power production makes him worth a look at this price.
