Baltimore lost by a count of 8-1 at home Sunday afternoon against San Francisco to drop to 18-41 overall and 8-23 at home.

Rangers ease to win
Texas won their third straight at home Sunday afternoon with a 5-1 victory over Kansas City. Adrian Sampson was stellar on the mound as he gave up one earned run on eight hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks over seven innings.

Prediction:
Texas will turn to Smyly here and he doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, but the Rangers have been stellar at home and they are facing a terrible Baltimore squad here. While Baltimore will have the sometimes reliable Bundy on the mound, I don’t trust him against a lineup ful of lefties with power. I’m taking the hosts as Smyly should be able to limit the damage against a weak offense.
