This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

We had a play on Arizona yesterday and it came away with the win in San Diego. The Diamondbacks have a big advantage on the mound tonight as well in our opinion in this inter-league contest and we look for them to make the most of it. The Rangers hand the ball to Martin Perez (2-4, 7.08 ERA) who actually comes in off a decent outing against the A's on Wednesday, giving up one run off seven hits with three walks over six innings in a no-decision. He's been a bit better of late, but note that Perez still owns an unsightly 2.02 WHIP this season. The home side goes with Robbie Ray (3-2, 4.90) who also earned a no-decision in his last outing against the Cubs on Wednesday, giving up one run off four hits while striking out six over seven innings. Ray's ERA is a disappointment, but his strikeout rates remain elite and we think he'll have more than enough in the tank to get the better of his inconsistent counterpart in this inter-league format. Note as well that Texas is just 21-41 (-6.8 units) against teams with winning records, while Arizona is 33-18 (+12.6 units) against teams with losing records. No upsets here, lay the price with confidence, play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
