Diamondbacks vs. Rangers prediction: Arizona will even World Series

Two Stitchkillers will start Game 2 of the World Series.

Now we are forced to back one of them?

Don’t enjoy sleeping with the enemy but here goes.

The Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly has made three starts this postseason and is 2-1, his ERA at 2.65.

The Rangers’ Jordan Montgomery, who was acquired from St. Louis midseason, has appeared in five playoff games, made four starts and is 3-0, with a 2.16 ERA.

A look back shows Monty blanked the Snakes for eight innings, scattering four hits on Aug. 21.

We have the Rangers winning the series but we will back the D’backs and Kelly for $100 … and … a couple of college football bets as well. $50 on Ohio State (-650) over Wisconsin and $50 on UCLA (-700) over Colorado.

Don’t mess with Texas.

We learned that the hard way.

Nice to have Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia on our side.
