MLB Betting Trends
Baltimore
The Orioles are 11-27 in their last 38 Wednesday games. Baltimore is 32-93 in its last 125 road games.
Texas
The Rangers are 7-2 in their last nine home games. Texas is 2-7 in its last nine games versus the AL East.
Prediction:
Baltimore won a crazy game last night, but should have a much tougher time tonight versus Minor. Means has been the best Orioles pitcher, but with less run support to work with than last night I don’t think he keeps up here. The Rangers have been outstanding at home so far this season and I think they bounce back in this spot.
