I'm not counting the Diamondbacks out yet. Not with Zac Gallen pitching at home and Adolis Garcia out.

Nathan Eovaldi versus Gallen was the Game 1 pitching matchup. Neither pitcher made it to the sixth inning. The Diamondbacks led 5-3 until the Rangers tied in the ninth and won in extra innings.

Gallen didn't pitch that well, but Eovaldi was worse. That game was in Texas, too.

Now Gallen is back pitching at home where he was 12-3 with a 2.47 ERA during the regular season.

Garcia being out with an oblique injury can't be underestimated either. He's the Rangers' top power hitter.

The Diamondbacks have proven resilient all season. I'm not ready to give up on them - at least not at this value price.
