Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Diamondbacks covered the spread on Tuesday but still have the third-worst road cover percentage at 41.5%. They covered the spread in just one game in each of their last three road series.

The Rangers are 21-27 ATS at home. They have not covered the spread in their last 13 games and have done so just twice in their last 18 games. I believe that trend ends tonight.

Take the RANGERS +1.5 (-185).

Over/Under (O/U)

Their game Tuesday went Over the 8.5 projected total. 44.4% of the games at Globe Life Field this season have gone Over the projected total.

Five of the last six games for the Diamondbacks have had totals of 9 or more runs.

Seven of the Rangers’ last 13 have finished with 9 or more runs as the total.

Take OVER 9 (-115).
