D-Backs take on the reigning World Series Champion Texas Rangers for the first time since the Fall Classic
The Diamondbacks travel to Texas today to take on the Rangers in their first duel after the World Series. Since the two teams met in the Fall Classic they have followed somewhatthat will make for a fun series. First pitch tonight is 5:05 P.M. Arizona time.
So far in 2024 Brandon Pfaadt has a 4.05 ERA but has pitched far better than that. His FIP is much lower at 3.15 meaning that he is due for some positive regression. Pfaadt in his last 5 starts had only allowed more than 3 runs once, and has gone 6 or more innings pitched in all 5. He has been an anchor in a banged up Diamondbacks rotation, an impressive feat from a young pitcher in his second season.
Eovaldi has only started 7 games in 2024 to this point, but has been elite in his small sample size. He only has a 2.61 ERA but there is some slight expected regression with a 2.54 FIP. His walk rate has also been up to a 4.14 BB/9. The Rangers are activating young stud Wyatt Langford. Langford, 22, landed on the Injured List with a right hamstring strain. He's in the lineup for the first time since suffering the injury, but will DH instead of taking his normal spot in the outfield.
