Texas vs Baltimore Stats

Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers are currently 38-40 overall this season and are in third place in the American League West division. They are seven games back of the divisional lead held by the Astros, but are only two games back of a wild card spot in the American League. Despite losing four of their last six games, the Rangers are showing strength defensively with a power ranking of 2, allowing an average of 3.35 points per game. Offensively, they are struggling, ranking 26th in the league with an average of 3.62 points scored per game. The team is hitting .228 this season, with the fifth fewest runs scored and the fourth fewest hits. Pitcher Patrick Corbin has a 4-6 record with a 3.91 ERA in 13 starts and has a 4.12 ERA in road games this year. The team will be looking to improve their offensive performance and continue their strong defensive play in order to make a push for a playoff spot.

Baltimore Orioles Analysis

The Baltimore Orioles are currently 33-44 overall this season and in last place in the American League East division, 12 games behind the Yankees. They are also 6.5 games out of a wild card place. Despite winning six of their last 10 games, they lost their last game to the Yankees 4-2. Pitcher Trevor Rogers will start for the Orioles in their next game, with a 3.12 ERA in two starts this season. The Orioles have a batting average of .238 and rank 23rd in the league in hitting. They are ranked 9th in power ranking and are 24th in offense, scoring an average of 3.97 runs per game and 26th in defense, giving up an average of 5.07 runs per game. In their last three matchups, Texas went 2-1 against Baltimore.

Texas Rangers Struggle to Keep Up as Baltimore Orioles Show Offensive Strength

The Texas Rangers recently secured a successful weekend series by winning two out of three games against the Pittsburgh Pirates. On the other hand, the Baltimore Orioles have improved their performance with six wins in their last ten games, demonstrating their ability to compete even with divisional leaders like the New York Yankees. Based on their .245 batting average this month and a .250 average at home, I believe the Orioles have the offensive strength to secure a win in Monday's home game. In contrast, the Texas Rangers have struggled with their offense, ranking fifth lowest in runs scored and holding a .224 average against left-handed pitchers. Considering the Orioles' proficiency in hitting homers, ranking 11th in that category, I recommend taking the Orioles to cover the spread in this matchup.
