Team Records & Form
Recent Form:
- Rangers: Six‑game win streak; averaging 7.6 runs/game last 10; bullpen ERA 3.81 over past week.
- Diamondbacks: 5.1 runs/game last 10; 7–3 ATS in that span; inconsistent offense (4 games of 6+ runs, 6 games ≤2 runs).
Projected Starting Pitchers
- TEX: LHP Jacob Latz (1–0, 3.13 ERA, 1.28 WHIP) – Likely spot start; 5 ER over last 20.1 IP; 17 K in that span; works in traffic but limits damage.
- ARI: RHP Nabil Crismatt (2–0, 1.84 ERA, 1.36 WHIP) – 3 ER over 14.2 IP; induces soft contact; WHIP suggests possible regression.
