The Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers face off on Tuesday in an MLB showdown at Globe Life Field. On Monday it was the Orioles that were able to secure the 7-2 victory. 

The Orioles sit with a 52-51 record overall and now the goal is to stay above the .500 mark for the rest of the season. On Monday the Orioles scored four runs in the first two innings, and then the pitching did the rest. The Orioles strength has been the pitching and they are giving up only 4.21 runs per game which 11th best in baseball. The team did trade Trey Mancini on Monday to the Houston Astros. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Texas Rangers who have a 46-56 record overall and they have lost two of their last three games. Over the last two losses, the Rangers pitching has given up 16 runs total. The pitching for the Rangers has been an issue all season giving up 4.47 runs per game. 

On the mound for the Orioles is Jordan Lyles who sits with a 7-8 record and an ERA 4.56. In his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays, he went 5.2 innings giving up three hits and zero runs. 

On the mound for the Rangers is Spencer Howard who sits with a 2-2 record and an ERA of 5.93. In his last start against the Los Angeles Angels, he went five innings giving up three hits and zero runs. 

The Orioles are 7-0 in their last seven games against the American League West. The Rangers are 0-5 in their last five games overall. The under is 6-1 in Lyles last seven starts on grass. The over is 4-0 in the Rangers last four games on Tuesday. 

Both pitchers are coming off a strong start, but don’t let that fool you, these are both pitchers who have both had issues all season. Howard sits with an ERA near six and Lyles sits with an ERA near five. The Orioles bats are going to continue the success they had on Monday with their bats, and the Rangers will add a few for the over to cash. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
