Diamondbacks vs. Rangers Game 2 Prediction
Arizona showed the ability to score in multiple ways last night. Until Corey Seager tied the game late the Diamondbacks were about to steal game one on the road. They showed all the reason why they have made such a deep run this postseason. They still have a chance to win the series and this game. But the walk off homer from the Rangers’ hottest hitter right now will zap the energy from Arizona in game two. The statement win last night will translate to tonight. Bet the Rangers.
