Arizona Diamondbacks Fantasy Spin
Domingo Leyba went 2-for-2 with an RBI double in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Leyba entered as part of a double-switch and he ended up being one of the more productive D’backs hitters on the day, leading off the eighth inning with a single and swatting an RBI double in the ninth to get the Arizona club on the board. He’s collected just eight at-bats in a pair of stints with the big club this year, picking up three hits in a backup role.
Texas Rangers Fantasy Spin
Hunter Pence (groin) is likely to return to the Rangers on Tuesday in Arizona. There was talk of Pence possibly being activated this weekend, but he wants to get his timing right with a couple more minor league rehab games at Double-A Frisco. The veteran outfielder was slashing .294/.353/.608 with 15 homers and 48 RBI in 55 games for Texas before straining a groin muscle in mid-June.
MLB Betting Trends
Arizona
The Diamondbacks are 10-2 in their last 12 games following an off day.
Texas
The Rangers are a perfect 5-0 in Lance Lynn’s last five starts and have won all four of his last four outings at home as well.
Prediction:
In the last five meetings between these two teams in Texas, the under is 3-1-1. The under is also a perfect 6-0 in the Diamondbacks’ last six games overall and is 3-1-1 in their last five road games. On the other side, the under is 8-2 in Lynn’s last 10 starts overall, is 5-2 in his last seven home outings and is 6-2 in Texas’ last eight home games when facing a lefty (southpaw Alex Young will start tonight for the D-Backs).
The Pick: Diamondbacks/Rangers UNDER 10
