Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
The game features an interesting pitching matchup between Patrick Corbin of the Rangers and Ryne Nelson of the Diamondbacks. Corbin has a 7-9 record with a 4.33 ERA. He is coming off a dominant performance against the Angels. Corbin struck out eight batters over eight scoreless innings in that game. Ryne Nelson holds a 7-3 record with a 3.53 ERA. He is more than capable of keeping the offense of the Rangers down in this matchup.

Final Thoughts
Both starting pitchers are capable of shutting down opposing hitters and this game is pretty close to a toss-up as far as I’m concerned. Instead of taking one side or the other to get the win, I think the under is the better play from a betting perspective. We should see both teams struggle against Corbin and Nelson and this should be another tight game between these two clubs.
