Texas Rangers vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
I might take a stab on the Rangers in this one. Heaney is on a pretty good run over his last three starts, even though he’s a tepid 1-1 in the record column. In that trio Heaney has four earned runs in 17.1 innings total on 13 hits and four walks. As for Kremer, he’s given up seven earned in his last 8.2 innings.
On Saturday the Rangers fell behind quickly and didn’t have much chance at a comeback. If Heaney can get a quality start Sunday, Texas will be in good shape if the bats wake up.
