Orioles at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, Rangers 6

LEAN ORIOLES (-124).

Baltimore has won back-to-back games and is 3-1 in its last 4 road games while the Rangers are only 2-3 in their last 5 overall.

The Orioles are also 4-1 in their last 5 matchups vs. the Rangers.

This is a lean because the Orioles are only 4-6 in their last 10 while the Rangers are 7-3 across that same span.

PASS.

I like the Rangers to cover here as +1.5 (-172) underdogs, especially as they are 7-3 in their last 10 and are 5-5 in their last 10 vs. Baltimore, but the line is not worth the risk. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

BET OVER 8 (-105).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Baltimore and in each of its last 3 road games. For Texas, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 at home and 5-2-1 in its last 8 overall. The Over has also hit in each of the last 3 Baltimore-Texas matchups, being 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
