Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks staged an impressive come-from-behind victory against the Rockies on Saturday, winning 6-5 after being down 4-1 in the third inning. This win added to their momentum after taking the first two games of the series, following a disappointing series against the Padres. Currently fourth in the NL West, they sit seven games out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. played a key role in the win, hitting an RBI-double in the ninth inning. Gurriel, the team's 31-year-old outfielder, has contributed 14 home runs and 59 RBIs this season while batting .249. In the same game, Corbin Carroll hit his 25th home run of the season, ranking 13th in the Majors. Second baseman Ketel Marte, who alternates batting first or second with Carroll, has added 21 home runs and 45 RBIs. Pitcher Ryne Nelson, making his 15th start of the season, has a 3.20 ERA with a strong 89-30 strikeout to walk ratio. Despite his solid performance in the last game, the team couldn't secure the win in extra innings against the Padres.

Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers are currently in the midst of a challenging nine-game home stand, with mixed results against tough competition. They won the first two games against the Yankees but lost the finale, and dropped their first two against the Phillies. They will have to close out the Philly series on Sunday and prepare for the visiting D-Backs on Monday.

In Saturday's low-scoring game against the Phillies, 23-year-old outfielder Wyatt Langford started with an RBI single in the first inning. Langford, in just his second season in the big leagues, had 16 home runs as a rookie and is looking to surpass that mark this season as he already has 15. Corey Seager hit a solo home run in the 8th inning, but it was not enough to close the deficit. Seager, batting second as their shortstop, hit his team-leading 17th home run of the season. Adolis Garcia, the team's right fielder, is right behind him with 16 home runs and a team-high 63 RBIs.

Nathan Eovaldi, a 35-year-old right-hander, currently holds the third-best odds to win the AL Cy Young Award. He will be making his 20th start of the season with a 10-3 record. The Rangers have won in his last six starts, and he boasts an impressive 1.38 ERA with 111 strikeouts against 20 walks. In his last start, Eovaldi pitched eight innings, giving up just one hit and no runs in a win over the Yankees.

Nathan Eovaldi and Rangers Poised for Success in Upcoming Game

The Rangers should be considered a strong contender in the upcoming game. Nathan Eovaldi is currently demonstrating impressive performance and potential, making him a possible candidate for AL Cy Young at +1900. Despite his limited number of starts compared to other pitchers, Eovaldi is currently excelling with a notable ERA of 1.38. The Rangers have achieved six consecutive victories with Eovaldi as their starting pitcher, showcasing his consistent dominance on the mound. In his recent game against the Yankees, Eovaldi displayed exceptional skill by allowing only one hit throughout the game. Conversely, Ryne Nelson has faced challenges in his recent games, including giving up multiple home runs. Considering these factors, it is recommended to place a bet on the Rangers for a potential win in the upcoming match.
