The Texas Rangers bring a hot hand into Camden Yards this week after winning seven of their last nine games. BetAnySports
has listed them as -121 road favorites for Tuesday night’s series
opener against the Baltimore Orioles, who have dropped five of their
last six games. The money line betting odds on Baltimore are set at an
even 100 for Game 1 with the total set at nine.



The Rangers’ recent run has extended their lead over Houston in the AL
West to six games. They are 62-44 overall, which is the best record in
the American League. Texas heads on the road for its next eight games
with an overall record of 28-27 in 55 previous road games this year. The
total stayed UNDER in three four games this past weekend against Kansas
City in a series that the Rangers swept the Royals by a combined score
of 18-9.



They will try and extend their winning streak to five games with Yu
Darvish as their starter. The right-hander is coming off solid outing
against Oakland in which he gave up two earned runs on four hits over
six innings of work. The Rangers have lost their last four games with
Darvish on the mound, but that was primarily due to a lack of run
support with just seven total runs over those four contests.



Baltimore’s lead in the AL East has shrunk to just a half a game over
Toronto following this past weekend’s 2-1 series loss to the rival Blue
Jays. The Orioles have now lost five of their last six games to fall to
59-45 on the year. They have still been tough to beat at Camden Yards
this season with a record of 37-16 and the total has stayed UNDER
BetAnySports’ closing total line in 17 of their last 19 games overall.



The Orioles will turn to Dylan Bundy as their starter for Tuesday night.
Pitching mainly out of the bullpen this season, the right-hander will
be making just his fourth start of the year. His last time out against
Colorado he got tagged for the loss after giving up two home runs in the
sixth inning. Prior to that, he shutout Cleveland for five innings to
pick up the win. Bundy’s overall ERA on the year stands at 3.46 with a
1.42 WHIP.



This should actually end up being a pretty close game with a good
matchup on the mound. Texas definitely in better form coming in, but I
am going with the UNDER on BetAnySports’ total line of nine as my “best bet” pick in this one.
