Orioles at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, Rangers 5

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-118) .

I freely admit that this is lukewarm endorsement because I’m not extremely confident in Kremer, but neither am I confident in Heaney. The Orioles are crushing the ball in Texas this weekend and I’ll bet on them to keep that rolling on Sunday and complete the sweep.

Baltimore has an exceptional road record (30-16)and has won 6 of its last 8 on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS .

I don’t like either team on the run line so I’ll stick to the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115) .

The Over has hit in 4 straight and 5 of the last 6 matchups between these 2 teams.

The Orioles have been Over in 3 straight and are 50-38-10 against the Over on the season. In Kremer’s last 6 starts, the Over has hit in 5 of them. Baltimore has also averaged 8.5 runs per game in this series.
