Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers Picks

Globe Life Field

<p><a href="/articles/mlb/diamondbacks-rangers-prediction-odds-pick-world-series-game-1-2023/">Game 1 of the 2023 World Series</a> provided all of the drama that you want to see in playoff baseball. What is in store for tonight’s Game 2 between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers (8:03 pm ET, FOX)?</p>
<p>After erasing an early deficit, the D-backs were in position to take the opener at Globe Life Field, with a 5-3 lead and closer Paul Sewald on the mound in the ninth.</p>
<p>But with one out in the final frame, Corey Seager cranked a two-run home to knot things up and set up some free baseball. </p>
<p>Then, following zeroes in the tenth and the top of the 11th, Adolis Garcia sent the home fans happy with a walk-off blast to lead off the bottom of the 11th.</p>

<p>It was the 17th walk-off homer in World Series history and the first since Max Muncy’s 18th-inning long ball to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 in 2018.</p>
<p>Of the previous 16 instances, which includes series-winning shots in 1960 (Bill Mazeroski of the Pittsburgh Pirates) and 1993 (Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays), the winning team has won the title 11 times.</p>
<p>If the Rangers are able to take a 2-0 lead tonight, they will be halfway to their first championship. </p>
<p>Will they take care of business tonight, or will the Diamondbacks pick themselves up off of the mat after last night’s missed opportunity and earn a split in Arlington? World Series Game 2 odds favor the home team, but the NLCS showed that Arizona is not to be counted out when behind.</p>

<p>That said, one of the four outliers took place last year, as the Houston Astros blew a five-run lead to lose Game 1 at home but won four of the next five games to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies.</p>
<p>There is plenty of reason for both the Rangers and Diamondbacks to feel confident at this point. Recent World Series history favors the AL champions, but the Diamondbacks overcame 2-0 and 3-2 series deficits in the NLCS.</p>
<p>There’s also some recent history in Arizona’s favor. While most recent Game 1 winners have gone on to win the World Series, the Game 1 loser has had a lot of success in Game 2. </p>
<p>It’s not nearly as significant of an edge as winning Game 1 is for winning the series, but 12 of the last 20 Game 1 losers have won Game 2, including each of the last three.</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> Diamondbacks to win</p>
<p><strong>Best Bets:</strong> Diamondbacks ML (+132 at Bovada) &amp; Corbin Carroll to record a run (+130 at Bovada)</p>
<p>I’m rolling with the Game 1 loser to be the Game 2 winner for the fourth consecutive World Series, and I look for Carroll to contribute to his team leaving Arlington with a split.</p>
<p>In Game 1, Carroll was 1 of 5 with two RBI and a run scored, and he now has scored ten runs and driven in eight in the postseason this year.</p>
<p>After going without a run in six consecutive games (NLDS Game 3 against the Dodgers and the first five games of the NLCS), Carroll has crossed home plate at least once in each of the last three games. </p>
<p>If he gets a hit, he will likely score. In the regular season, he tallied a hit in 102 games, and he scored a run in 70 (68.6%) of those games. In the postseason, he has bettered that percentage, scoring a run in six of the eight games (75%) in which he has recorded a hit.</p>
