Arizona Diamondbacks vs Texas Rangers 5/3/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Arizona Diamondbacks will go against the Texas Rangers in MLB action at Globe Life Field, TX, on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, at 2:05 PM ET.

The Diamondbacks are an excellent place to start if you’re searching for a club that’s utilizing the new regulations, such as wider bases and fewer opportunities to get picked off.

They had 25 stolen bases going into this series and were only caught five times. Additionally, they entered Arlington ranked first for doubles, fourth for batting average, and tenth for runs.

No club has a lower walk rate, but if they can reduce it, it will give opposition pitchers nightmares.

Arizona’s pitching was not outstanding either; their team ERA came into this series ranked 22nd. Due to their collective walk and strikeout rates being in the bottom ten, their FIP is among the worst in the majors.

Particularly Arizona’s relievers aren’t doing well, as seen by their bottom-10 ERA, FIP, and WAR rankings. Due to their 12-run setback to the Rockies on Sunday, their pitching issues were made clear.

Merrill Kelly, who is expected to start this game, can get the pitching staff back on track. Kelly was outstanding on the road with a 1.15 ERA in three away starts in 2023.

He only gave out five free passes in 15.2 innings on the road and did not give up a long ball. This season, he has a 3.06 ERA overall and a 144 ERA+.
