Orioles vs Rangers Prediction
Baltimore was able to jump all over the Rangers to open this series with a win, as Texas continues to struggle away from home. The Rangers are just 15-25 on the road this year, while the Orioles are 17-19 at home. Texas has one of the lowest scoring offenses in the MLB and they will face Morton, who has been very sharp in four of his last five starts. The Rangers will start Latz, who has also been solid, but hasn’t been used as a starter very much. Morton has really turned his season around and he should have another decent outing against this Texas lineup. Take the O’s to win.
