Orioles vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are coming off a feel-good win, and now they go to their ace in deGrom, who is still rolling at 37 years old. deGrom has allowed 16 hits and five runs in his last 25 innings, and he’s allowing a .199 batting average. Young will make his third career start, and he’s allowed 11 hits and six runs in his first 8.2 innings. Massive pitching edge for the Rangers, and you can make a strong argument that this line should be steeper. Give me the Rangers and the surprisingly reasonable price.
