What has made this improbable World Series matchup probable has been the resiliency of both teams. The Diamondbacks have also spent the better part of the second half of the season with mainly two reliable frontline starters in Kelly and Zac Gallen. Manager Tony Lovullo has become quite adept at working his bullpen to pick up wins without a lot of innings from his starters. Look no further than his masterful job in game four against the Phillies in the NLCS, utilizing eight pitchers in nine innings. He will have his full compliment of key pitchers to use on Tuesday night after Pfaadt nearly gave him six innings.

The Rangers are not strangers to using their bullpen either but this game-four spot has been tricky for them in their lone attempt in the postseason, losing 10-3 to the Astros. Bochy will have a decision to make on which pitcher to go with but, more importantly, he will have to decide how much he wants to use some key relievers he pitched in game three. He used three of his key relievers in game three Josh Sborz, Aroldis Chapman, and Jose Leclerc. Bochy could easily turn to someone else here to give him some key innings and that may work in the Diamondbacks’ favor. I like the Diamondbacks’ chances in game three with a stronger history of success in bullpen games.

Take the D-Backs with the money line.

Monday’s win was the Rangers’ first in Arizona since 2021. It was also the DBacks first loss at home in the playoffs, but they have gone 46-39 straight up at home this season, which includes the postseason. If this is indeed a battle of the bullpens, the advantage has to stand with the Diamondbacks, having done this successfully already this postseason. The continuous flow of new pitchers seemed to throw the Phillies bats off just enough for the Diamondbacks to sneak out that win in Game 4. They also may get the benefit of not having to face Garcia, who has hit nine home runs in the postseason. On the other side, Arizona pummeled the Texas bullpen in Game 2. Expect some more of that and for Arizona to even up the series.

Take the Diamondbacks with the money line.
