Game 4 Prediction & Picks:

All eyes are on the Diamondbacks to even the World Series, but the Rangers are determined to further their series lead. Texas has excelled on the road, winning nine consecutive away games while averaging 6.1 runs during this streak. On the other hand, the Diamondbacks have struggled at home, losing three of their last eight games and averaging only 2.0 runs.

The Diamondbacks face the challenge of scoring against Rangers' left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney. Although Heaney has a 6.00 ERA in the 2023 MLB playoffs, he has shown moments of excellence, surrendering just one run on two hits in the postseason.

The Diamondbacks are pinning their hopes on Joe Mantiply, who is 2-0 with a 4.26 ERA in eight postseason appearances, although he started only one of those games.

Given the Rangers' road success and the Diamondbacks' recent home struggles, backing the Rangers to win outright on the moneyline is a solid choice.

Game 4 Prediction: Texas Rangers win

Best Bet: Texas Rangers Moneyline (-108 on Bovada)

Player Prop:

He has hit the Over on this prop six times in that span and has a strong history of hitting the Over during previous visits to Chase Field.

Player Prop Bet: Corey Seager Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110 on Bovada)
