Orioles vs Rangers Prediction
Texas was able to start the series with a win on Monday night and they have won thee games in a row. The Rangers are off to another solid start with their pitching and they are starting deGrom, who can be elite. Baltimore has dropped two of their last three games and they have allowed 15 runs in those three games. The O’s are starting Eflin, who had some injury issues in 2025 and had an ERA near six. Texas is hitting the ball very well right now and deGrom is the better starter, so I like the Rangers here.
