The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles are rolling into this series really hot as they just continue to win games and have improved a lot from previous seasons with one of the best records in the entire MLB right now around 50 games into the season. Their offense continues to impress as they are putting up tons of runs and they are going to have a similar opponent here as the Rangers also have a really hot offense and have improved a lot this season with the best record in their division right now. This game is going to come down to pitching though and both of these bullpens haven't been great this season giving up a ton of runs in their games. The Orioles do have an edge with their starter though as Kremer has been decent in his starts this season and also has 5 wins on the year so the team plays really well when he is on the mound too. Heaney is up for the Rangers though and he hasn't been good in his starts as he has been giving up a ton of runs and he is going to get hit in this game with this hot Orioles offense at home. Kremer will keep his team in this game with a good home performance here and the Orioles offense will carry them to yet another victory. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
