Andrew Heaney of the Rangers is technically a starter, but he's not really stretched out anymore. Basically, I'm expecting this to be sort of a bullpen game for the Rangers. The D-backs are using a full-on bullpen game with reliever Joe Mantiply getting the ball first. In a battle of the bullpens, I'm taking the Diamondbacks. All their late-inning arms are on two days of rest, too.

No Adolis Garcia for the Rangers, which makes me feel much better about Under 9.5 runs. Can't say I love Arizona's planned pitching lineup tonight, but have to back the Snakes as we don't usually get important player news like a star player missing a World Series game.

The rare baseball play for me but I live not too far from Chase Field and obviously have paid plenty of attention to my hometown team. Adolis Garcia, Texas' cleanup hitter, is done for the series which is a HUGE blow to that lineup. I think Arizona jumps on Andrew Heaney going away and their bullpen is effective enough to keep Texas under four runs. Getting nearly 2-1 odds on the run line is what sold me though, D-Backs win 7-3 tonight.

It could be a bullpen day for both teams tonight. Texas is set to start Andrew Heaney, who has not made a start since 10/7 in Baltimore. On the season, the Diamondbacks hit .266 with a .758 OPS against lefties at home. Arizona opens with Joe Mantiply to get through the first inning then followed by a bullpen owning a 2.85 ERA this postseason. It goes without saying the Diamondbacks can’t afford to lose this game.

After a string of higher-scoring games, especially by the Rangers, we were treated to a pitcher's duel in Game 3. (Max Scherzer's early exit might have inadvertently helped that cause). Suspect we get back to lots of offense tonight in an effective bullpen game, especially for the D-backs with Joe Mantiply on the mound to start things. Meanwhile, Andrew Heaney has been a starter of course before being moved to the Texas bullpen by Bruce Bochy later in the season. The Rangers recently had a stretch of 26 runs across three games before Game 2 of this World Series. Play Rangers-Diamondbacks Over

Andrew Heaney is getting no love in his pitching rating after the Rangers went 17-13 behind him. He made two outs in his last start against Houston before being yanked in a 10-3 loss. He’s an underdog to the Arizona bullpen who also have the pressure of evening up the series and are at home with the humidor. And because of yesterday’s score, we don’t see any adjustments in the total number. But this is the game I think both sides offenses attack. The Texas bullpen can’t keep hiding who they are so I believe they’ll contribute to the scoring as well. Over is the top play here.

Have to wait on a side as to whether ALCS MVP favorite Adolis Garcia is in the lineup for Texas as was pulled from the eighth inning of Game 3 with some tightness in his side and needed an MRI. If this were the regular season, there's probably no chance he plays. I like Under regardless but would even that much more if Garcia sits. For sure we'd be on Arizona if he does.
