This is a 10* play on TEXAS

The Rangers and Diamondbacks begin a two-game set on Tuesday. While this is an Interleague matchup, it'll actually be the fourth series between the teams in the last two years. All have been two games and the one earlier this year out in Arizona saw the teams split the pair. Texas is having the slightly stronger year overall so far as they are six games above .500 while Arizona is at the break even mark of 47-47. Both started their 2nd half with a win, but come in on two-game losing streaks. The Rangers actually took the first two games from the Astros over the weekend, only to lose the next two. The Diamondbacks lost two of three in St. Louis. Both teams are excited about who they have starting today, but we like Lance Lynn for Texas more as he's gotten it done over a longer stretch, plus he has a solid history when facing Arizona. Alex Young has made only two starts for the Diamondbacks and while the last one was a no-hitter (pulled after six innings), we're not sure any real conclusions can be made. Lynn is 12-4 this year and 3-0 with a 0.82 ERA and 0.95 WHIP his last three starts. The Rangers have won the last five times he's started. Arizona is 1-5 its last six road games. Play on TEXAS
