Game 5 of the 2023 MLB World Series will take place on Wednesday night when the Texas Rangers travel to face the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field with the first pitch scheduled for 8:03 PM ET and the game airing on Fox.

The Texas Rangers have won two games in a row in the 2023 World Series and lead the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 in the series and are one win away from being crowned the 2023 World Series Champions following an 11-7 win in Game 4 of the 2023 World Series on Tuesday night. The Rangers scored 5 runs in the 2^nd inning and 5 runs in the 3^rd inning to leave no doubt they would win Game 4 with Marcus Semien having a huge night with one home run, 5 RBIs, and two runs with five at-bats. Andrew Heaney had a phenomenal start as the starting pitcher for the Texas Rangers in Game 4 allowing one run and striking out three batters over 5 innings pitched in the win against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona is now in a 1-3 hole and is in danger of being eliminated from the 2023 MLB World Series following a 7-11 loss in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night. Four of the runs for the Diamondbacks came in the 8^th inning which included a three-run home run hit by Lourdes Gurriel that also scored Gabriel Moreno and Christian Walker. Joe Mantiply only lasted 1 ? innings allowing one run and striking out one batter in the loss against the Texas Rangers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night.

BookMaker has the game listed as a pick ‘em for Game 5 of the 2023 MLB World Series on Wednesday night. Texas has won six of the last ten and two of the last three games in the series. The Diamondbacks have outscored the Rangers by an average of 5.4 to 5.1 runs per game over the last ten and 5.67 to 5 runs per game over the last three meetings.

The Texas Rangers will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound while the Arizona Diamondbacks will send Zac Gallen to the mound for game 5 of the 2023 World Series on Wednesday night. Eovaldi is 12-5 this season with a 3.63 ERA while recording 132 strikeouts while Gallen is 17-9 on the year with an ERA of 3.47 and has recorded 220 strikeouts.

Nathan Eovaldi is 4-0 in the 2023 MLB Postseason with a 3.52 ERA while recording 36 strikeouts over 30 ? innings pitched with his last start coming at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks in which Eovaldi allowed five runs while striking out eight batters over 4 ? innings pitched in a no-decision.

Zach Gallen is 2-2 in the 2023 MLB Postseason with an ERA of 5.27 and has recorded 18 strikeouts over 27 ? innings pitched with his last start coming on the road against the Texas Rangers in which Gallen allowed three runs and recorded five strikeouts over 5 innings pitched.

Texas has won by two runs or more over the last two games in the 2023 MLB World Series and has Nathan Eovaldi on the mound who has not recorded a loss in the 2023 MLB Postseason while Gallen is .500 and has an ERA of 5.27 in the postseason. I look for the Rangers to wrap up the 2023 World Series on Wednesday night which is why I am taking the moneyline for the Texas Rangers at -105 for Game 5 of the 2023 MLB World Series.
