Dean Kremer (4-5, 4.38 ERA) vs. Andrew Heaney (3-10, 3.79 ERA)

Dean Kremer from the team of Orioles has an average season where he possesses a win-loss record of 4-5 and an ERA of 4.38. He has pitched for 63. 2 innings of work, allowed 51 hits, 13 of which were home runs and has recorded 64 K’s. His WHIP is rather low 1.19, which means he does not allow many base runners but gives up large strokes which play a huge role in the critical moments of the game.

On the other side, Rangers’ Andrew Heaney who has 3 wins and 10 losses has a slightly better ERA of 3.79 in 95 innings. Looking at Heaney whose strikeout rate is 97 Ks, it is evident that he manages pressure situations though he was to give 14 home runs and 93 hits. He has more experience and has a slightly better ERA though the difference can be considered marginal at best to help Rangers in the pitching department.

Orioles’ Offensive Strategy

The Baltimore Orioles are currently batting at an average of .253 but have an outstanding performance when it comes to slugging with a ratio of .452 and have managed to hit 149 home runs in a season. The fact that they got on base at a rate of .313 and possessing good power hitting abilities present a formidable task for the pitchers. This offense, along with their favorable road record against the spread of 25-19, indicates they can take advantage of any holes in the Rangers’ pitching.

Rangers’ Approach at the Plate

On the other hand , the Rangers as a team have a batting average of .241 and a slugging of .382 with 101 home runs. Their on base percentage is slightly lower at .311 meaning they afforded fewer opportunities on the field. That is why the lower slugging percentage indicates less of the power in the team’s hits, which could be crucial when meeting a team with high-strikeout pitchers like the Orioles.
