Rangers Money Line -158
The World Series kick off tonight, and the Rangers are turning to their ace in Game 1. Nathan Eovaldi has been awesome for the Rangers this year and in the postseason. Eovaldi is 4-0 with a 2.42 ERA in the postseason. He’s stepped it up when it has mattered the most. For his career in the postseason, he has a 2.87 ERA. He was nothing if not consistent this year. The Diamondbacks are countering with their ace, Zac Gallen. Gallen is certainly capable of dominating a lineup, but he’s been up and down this postseason. He has a 5.24 ERA in 4 starts, encompassing just 22.1 innings pitched. He also struggled on the road during the regular season, pitching to a 4.42 ERA in away games during the regular season
