The Baltimore Orioles (58-38) and Texas Rangers (46-50) will begin a three-game series on Friday, July 19, at 8:05 PM ET at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The Orioles are favored with a moneyline at -155 for this MLB betting opportunity.
The Orioles have gone 1-4 over their last five games. Their recent battle was a 6-5 win over the New York Yankees, which ended their losing streak. However, they have allowed their opponents four or more runs per game in this stretch of games.
They will start Corbin Burnes (9-4) on the mound, who can hopefully keep the Rangers at bay for a while. He currently has an ERA of 2.43 and a WHIP of 1.04. Compared to their team ERA of 3.71, they are in good hands to start.
Their offense runs through a few outstanding players to give them an edge each game. One of them is Gunnar Henderson, who leads with a batting average of .286, 28 home runs, and 63 RBIs.
The Orioles have been putting up a batting average of .253 and are allowing their opponents to get .230. However, this has been rough over their last five games, and they need to get back on track.
The Rangers have won three out of their last five games and are currently on a two-game winning streak. Their most recent success was a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros, in which they won two out of three games.
Their starting pitcher will be Nathan Eovaldi (6-3), who currently has an ERA of 2.97 and a WHIP of 1.04. With their team ERA coming in at 3.98, they are in a good position with him.
Their offense has been doing well, especially with Josh Smith leading with a batting average of .293. They also have Corey Seager leading with 18 homers and Marcus Semien with 51 RBIs. Each one will need a great day at the plate to help them have a chance at winning.
The Rangers are hitting .241 at the plate and allowing their opponents to give back .230. This is a good start, but they need more separation at the plate if they want to succeed here.
The latest MLB betting odds are brought to you through MyBookie. The Baltimore Orioles are favorites. According to market insights, they have a 51.7 percent chance of winning.
