Baltimore Orioles vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Orioles might be one of the best teams in baseball, but they are going to struggle against the Rangers here. Lorenzen gave up only two runs in his last start, and he’s going to be strong again here. The Rangers’ offense is going to find some success off of Povich who I don’t really trust to find success here. The Rangers are going to cruise to the victory here. Back the Rangers on the money line.
