Rangers vs Orioles Prediction
Right when it looked like Corbin was finally finding his footing, he’s allowed 26 hits and 14 runs in his last 23 innings. Corbin has allowed 15 hits and nine runs in his last 10 innings alone. Rogers has been solid through 16.2 innings this season, but it’s still a small sample size. Rogers has had issues with injuries and form, so the jury is still out on him. I’m not excited about these two teams or these pitchers, so I’m going to side with the over. Corbin can get hit hard, and Rogers is still a mystery. Give me the over.
