Rangers vs. Orioles Picks
Given the recent form of both teams and the pitching matchup, the Texas Rangers seem to have the upper hand in this game. Their strong offense, coupled with Eovaldi’s solid pitching, gives them an edge over the Orioles.
While the Orioles have a strong team and have performed well this season, their recent form and the performance of their starting pitcher, Kremer, suggest that they may struggle in this game. The Rangers’ strong offense and solid defense could prove to be too much for the Orioles to handle.
