Texas Rangers vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
Baltimore rolls into this game looking for the four game sweep in the series and they are trying to hold off the Yankees for first in the AL East. Baltimore is 29-16 at home, while Texas is just 17-27 on the road. The Rangers continue to struggle this season and they are nowhere near the team they were last season. Texas will turn to Heaney, who has been decent, but will face one of the best lineups in the MLB. Baltimore is starting Cole Irvin, who has been very good this season, but has been a bit shaky recently. The Texas offense has been very inconsistent and I think Irvin will bounce back with a strong start. My Texas Rangers vs Baltimore Orioles prediction is for the Orioles to win by at least two runs.
