Angels vs. Diamondbacks Parlay: Ryne Nelson Has Shined at Home Lately
Arizona enters with a 21-14 home record as Ryne Nelson and Walbert Urena are set to start the series opener.
The Arizona Diamondbacks host the Los Angeles Angels on Monday at Chase Field to open a three-game series, with pitchers Ryne Nelson and Walbert Urena slated to start the 9:40 p.m. matchup.
Arizona holds a 21-14 home record while the Los Angeles Angels struggle on the road with a 12-23 mark, having lost more away games than all but two other teams.
Diamondbacks pitcher Ryne Nelson has struggled with a 5.19 ERA but shows recent home improvement, while 22-year-old Angels rookie Walbert Urena has been a bright spot with a 2.44 ERA in 12 appearances.
Both clubs face significant roster challenges, with numerous players on the 60-Day IL; Arizona's Corbin Burnes remains out following Tommy John surgery, limiting the Diamondbacks' rotation depth.
Oddsmakers list Arizona at +175 for the playoffs, reflecting their solid status; the Diamondbacks enter tonight's opener as-131 favorites against the Angels at +110.
