On the mound for the Rangers will be Andrew Heaney and they need him to be lights out here. In his last start against teh Mariners he went 4,1 innings giving up five hits and zero runs.

Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be an opening victory by the Orioles. Bradish has been really good heading into this game and even though Heaney was better in his last start he still gave up five runs and played with fire. The Rangers bats are going to be ice cold here, and that is going to be the difference here as the Orioles are going to get the job done with ease. Back the Orioles -1.5 to cash here.
