World Series picks: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers, Odds, picks line

Odds: TEX -115 | ARI -105 | O/U: 8.5

Prediction - The Rangers have Eovaldi, one of the best postseason pitchers of this era and really of all-time, on the mound in Game 5. The D-backs are starting their ace, though Gallen has not been particularly ace-like this October. He's up to 237 1/3 innings on the year, by far a career high, and it's fair to wonder if fatigue is setting in. Arizona's offense can make life easy on Gallen if they carry over their performance in the late innings of Game 4 into Game 5.

Pick: Diamondbacks 6, Rangers 4.

Score Prediction: Diamondbacks 4, Rangers 2

Total Prediction: Under 8.5 runs

Win Probabilities: Diamondbacks 55%, Rangers 45%

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers World Series Game 5 odds, tips and betting trends

BET THE RANGERS (-110).

Eovaldi is a workhorse hurler likely to be glad to have a 2nd bite at the apple after scuffling in Game 1. In 4 previous postseason games this October, he had yielded 2 runs or less 3 times (allowed 3 runs the other game). He has a good playoff history — expect a bounce-back effort with a chance to spray champagne after this one.

Mix in a Texas squad that in the regular season ranked 4th in MLB with a .788 OPS vs. right-handed pitching, and the Rangers look like a should-be -130 in this one. And then there is this: Texas has won 2 straight games in this World Series. The last 4 times the Rangers won 2 straight games after a loss, they turned game 3 into a win also.

Run line/Against the spread

More juice here and not enough faith in the Texas bullpen to get a 2- or 3-run lead cleanly to the finish line. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between Texas and Arizona. With a lot of comfortable batters on both sides and 3/4ths of the Game 5 pitching pie being fade-worthy (Gallen, both bullpens), the Over is a lean here.

With just enough respect to Gallen in his home yard and the fact the back ends of both pens could be involved, PASS unless you get an evenly-priced (-110) 8.5-run total. And then, a half-unit is recommended.
