Trends

Texas is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall and 18-42 in their last 60 games against the AL East while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 Sunday games. Baltimore is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall and 23-9 in their last 32 games against the AL West while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.

Pick

I’ll roll with the over here. The Rangers sending out Bradford is an interesting move, but perhaps a necessary one. Bradford was rocked by the Braves in his debut and the Orioles have a solid lineup that’s been one of the best in the AL so far this season. On the other side, the Rangers have been hot in the last couple of weeks against right-handed pitching and while I do like Kyle Bradish, he’s been a mid-level arm for the Orioles, and I think this could be a tough outing for him. Give me the over.
