Texas Rangers vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Orioles have talent but the bats have been quiet through 3 of their first 4 games. When right, deGrom is still one of the best pitchers in baseball so I don’t expect a breakthrough here. Also, Eflin was dog water last season with his 5.93 ERA, 1.42 WHIp and .304 allowed batting average. In 30.1 home innings, Eflin had a 5.93 ERA and .323 allowed batting average. No thanks. You’re also not going to get deGrom at prices this cheap assuming he stays effective and healthy. Give me the Rangers and the cheap price behind their ace.
