Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Picks

Chase Field

<p>The Arizona Diamondbacks could have been irreparably deflated after losing Game 1 of the World Series in the manner in which they did. Instead, they quickly picked themselves up and hammered the Texas Rangers in Game 2 on Saturday in Arlington.</p>
<p>Now, the series has moved to Chase Field, and the NL champions are three wins away from a title with the next three games at home. Can they take a series lead with a win in tonight’s Game 3 (8:03 pm ET, FOX)? </p>
<p>If they do, it will tip the odds in their favor, and not just because they are at home now. Across <a href="/mlb/">MLB</a>, the <a href="/nba/">NBA</a>, and the <a href="/nhl/">NHL</a>, each of which has best-of-seven playoff rounds, history indicates that the team with a 2-1 series lead wins the series much more often than not.</p>
<p>In the NLCS, the Diamondbacks added their name to the list of teams that has won a series after trailing 2-1 with their comeback against the Philadelphia Phillies. </p>
<p>But whereas being down 2-1 against the Phillies was a positive after they went into Game 3 trailing 2-0, a 2-1 deficit against the Rangers would represent a missed opportunity.</p>
<p>Who will take a valuable advantage this evening at Chase Field? The Rangers, with World Series winner and three-time NL Cy Young Award recipient Max Scherzer on the mound tonight, are slight favorites.</p>

<h3 id="869vp">Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks to win</h3>
<p>On paper, you’d give the edge to the Rangers and Scherzer, one of the top pitchers of the last decade-plus and a certain Hall of Famer, over the Diamondbacks and Pfaadt, a rookie.</p>
<p>But Pfaadt has been the better of the two in this year’s playoffs. He has posted a 2.70 ERA in 16.2 innings across four starts, while Scherzer has surrendered seven runs and nine hits in 6.2 innings in his two playoff starts.</p>
<p>The Rangers are 8-0 on the road in the postseason, as they swept the Tampa Bay Rays on the road in the wild-card round, won two on the road in the ALDS against the Baltimore Orioles, then swept all four games in Houston in their ALCS win over the Astros.</p>
<p>But all good things must come to an end, just like the Phillies’ home dominance did at the worst possible time the NLCS against the Diamondbacks.</p>
<p><strong>Rangers vs Diamondbacks Game 3 Picks:</strong> Diamondbacks ML (-106 at Bovada) &amp; Diamondbacks team total over 4.5 runs (+100 at Bovada)</p>
