Orioles vs Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Orioles in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but the thing for me here is that Rogers has been outstanding at home during his tenure with the Orioles, while Eovaldi is better than what he showed in the opener but I have to think the Orioles are too talented to get swept like this here. I think Rogers can be the stopper here so I’ll roll with the Orioles in this one.
