Orioles vs Rangers Prediction

Leiter settled in last season and looks like he can be a consistent rotation guy after his first few starts looked dark. I’m still siding with the O’s and the cheap price at home, as their offense finally got off the canvas in their last effort and we could see a carryover effect. Bassitt is also more trustworthy given the larger sample size and through 93 innings last season he had a 2.71 ERA and .235 allowed batting average. Give me more bang for my buck and I’d look at the Rangers. At this price point I have to side with the Orioles at home.
