The betting lines for this matchup are yet to be announced, but given the Orioles’ stronger season performance and home advantage, they are likely to be favored. The Rangers have struggled, particularly on the road, which could further skew the odds. Bettors should keep an eye on the lines as they open and consider the Orioles for a straight win if the price is reasonable.
Andrew Heaney (2-9, 4.17 ERA) vs. Cole Irvin (6-4, 3.74 ERA)
Starting for the Rangers, Andrew Heaney has had a poor season with 2-9 and 4.17 ERA. However, he continues to strike out 75 batters over (77. 2) innings going in confirming that he still has his pitching weapons intact to put away the hitter. Nevertheless, his weakness or inability to prevent batters from hitting the long ball such as 12 home runs and a WHIP of 1.
Cole Irvin does notably better for the Orioles with a 6-4 record and a 3.74 ERA on the mound. Of course, the control has been a plus: with 15 walks given in 77 IP, and a rather constant WHIP of 1.31, the same as Heaney, but with fewer runs allowed. This happens due to his excellent sportsmanship, or at least how he is able to keep his calm and only issue free passes.
Rangers’ Offensive Struggles and Pitching Woes
The Rangers are hitting a meager .237 average and a slugging of .370 putting them in the category of the weaker hitting team. Adding on a team ERA of 4.04 and WHIP of 1.28, can easily indicate that not only the hitters are unable to find their form but the pitchers are also in a similar sinking ship. On the road they have been rather underwhelming which could persist in the unfriendly setting of Camden Yards.
Orioles’ Power Hitting and Pitching Dominance
On the other hand, at the plate, the Orioles have displayed large amounts of power, with a batting average of .254 along with .461 slugging percentage power of 132 home runs are the key achievements. Their pitchers go hand in hand with the hitters offering them a 3.39 ERA and a small 1.16 WHIP. These statistics show an efficient team to gain control of matches, be it on the playing field or on the pitcher’s mound.
