World Series picks: Best Game 5 bets for Diamondbacks vs. Rangers

By Jack Dougherty | Last updated 11/1/23

The Texas Rangers jumped out to a 10-0 lead in Game 4 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and they held on to win their 10th straight game in the postseason and come one win away from a championship. With a win in Game 5 Wednesday night, the Rangers will secure their first World Series title in franchise history.

So, will Texas continue its road dominance and wrap up the World Series in Game 5, or will Arizona survive and push the series to a Game 6? Let's find out with our two best bets.

Rangers moneyline (-108 FanDuel)

We went against the Rangers in Game 3 and Game 4, but it's time to submit to what's been a magical run throughout the postseason. Texas is now 10-0 on the road in the playoffs, and this is the perfect time to close out the series with Nathan Eovaldi on the mound.

Eovaldi is 4-0 in five starts this postseason with just 12 earned runs and 36 strikeouts. The Rangers have won all five of their ace's starts in the playoffs, and their bats are coming into Game 5 on fire after putting up 11 runs in Game 4. Zac Gallen has struggled mightily in the playoffs after a great regular season, and the Rangers can jump on him early like they did in Game 1.

Marcus Semien to record an RBI (+150 FD)

With Adolis Garcia out for Game 4, Semien picked up the slack with two hits, a home run and five RBIs against the Diamondbacks bullpen. He should be in for another strong offensive performance in Game 5 with Gallen on the mound.

In 11 career at-bats against Gallen, Semien is batting .455 with three singles and two doubles. All we need is the bottom of the Rangers lineup to keep getting on base, and Semien will come to a plate a few times with the opportunity to drive in runs.
