The Rangers lost 2 of their last 3 games and enter this game off of a loss. They won their last series against the Los Angeles Angels 3-1 in a 4-game series. They enter this game with a 46-56 record overall and have a home record of 21-27.

His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 6 Ks on 3 hits through 7 IP against the Los Angeles Angels. 

The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a favorite in this game. The Rangers have been very inconsistent in their games recently with a lot of off and on wins but this is a great spot for them to win here at home. The Orioles have been playing very well recently as they are heating up again, but they have not been a very good team on the road and they just traded away one of their biggest offense producers as well in Mancini. They also have Bradish starting here and he is making his first start back from an injury but he was not pitching that well prior to his injury, also being a rookie still who is very inexperienced as an MLB starter. Perez is starting for the Rangers and he has been great all season for them as he does allow many runs in his starts. This is a great spot for the rangers to bounce back with a win. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.
