Rangers at Orioles picks and predictionsPrediction
Rangers 3, Orioles 2
BET RANGERS (-132).
The Orioles have struggled offensively to start the season, scoring more than 2 runs just once in 4 games, while batting .228 with only 6 extra-base hits. That’s a tough spot facing deGrom, who is 5-0 with a 1.34 ERA in his career against Baltimore.
Meanwhile, the Rangers have come out swinging, hitting .241 with 5 HRs and 16 runs in 3 games. With the pitching edge and current form, Texas is in a strong position to control this game and get the win.
PASS.
I don’t mind betting the Rangers -1.5 (+130) on the run line, especially if you want those better odds, but I’ll play it safe on the moneyline. I’ll likely put them into a parlay as well.
BET UNDER 8.5 (-122).
The Under hit in the last 2 meetings between the teams, and Baltimore has gone Under in 3 of its first 4 games. With deGrom on the mound, runs should be limited. Texas can do enough to win, but not enough to push this total Over.
