Arizona Diamondbacks (19-20) at Texas Rangers (19-21) — Game Preview
Two teams sitting a hair below .500 meet in Arlington, with both still trying to figure out exactly who they are. The Diamondbacks come in at 19-20 with Michael Soroka on the mound, posting a 4.14 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 37 innings. Texas counters at 19-21 with Nathan Eovaldi, who has four wins and a 4.15 ERA across 47.2 innings of work. Josh Jung has been the surprise of the Rangers offense, hitting .331 with a .907 OPS, and Arizona will counter with Ildemaro Vargas (.341 AVG) and the steady veteran presence of Nolan Arenado. The Rangers staff has been the difference for them at 3.65 team ERA, eighth-best in the AL, so the Diamondbacks lineup will need to find runs early.

Players to Watch: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers
Arizona Diamondbacks
Ildemaro Vargas — 1B. .341 AVG, 6 HR, 24 RBI, .937 OPS. Vargas has quietly become the most productive bat in the Arizona lineup and rakes against righties.
Michael Soroka — SP. 4-2, 4.14 ERA, 42 strikeouts in 37 innings. The rebuild project has shown flashes this year, leading the Arizona staff in strikeouts, and gets a Rangers lineup that strikes out at a high rate.
Texas Rangers
Josh Jung — 3B. .331 AVG, 5 HR, 20 RBI, .907 OPS. The third baseman has been the steadiest hitter in the Rangers lineup and is on a pace that, if it holds, would be his best big-league season.
Nathan Eovaldi — SP. 4-4, 4.15 ERA, 47 strikeouts. The veteran righty has been workmanlike in his starts and will look to keep an Arizona lineup that ranks last in the NL West in slugging at bay.
