Rangers vs. Orioles Offense Outlook

Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager have been the Rangers’ top power threats this season, with Garcia leading the team with 16 homers and Seager right behind him at 15. However, Garcia is batting just .220 for the season, and Seager isn’t far above the Mendoza line at .260. Marcus Semien comes into the game with a team-high 44 RBIs but is batting just .237.

Seager is currently on a seven-game hitting streak and has gone deep three times over his past seven games. During this stretch, he is batting .286. Garcia has also gone deep three times in his last seven games, going 8/28 overall.

As a team, the Orioles are the top-scoring team in the league, averaging 5.3 runs per game. They also have the league’s best slugging percentage and OPS. Baltimore has been especially good at home this season, averaging 5.5 runs per contest. Overall, they are batting .255, which is the 5th best mark in the league.

Gunnar Henderson has been on a tear of late, going 11/27 in his last seven games with two homers and five RBIs. For the season, he is batting .292 with a league-leading 26 home runs. Adley Rutschman is right behind him in terms of RBIs, as his 55 RBIs are the 2nd-best mark on the team and 8th-best in the league. Santander and Rutschman are 3rd and 2nd on the team in homers, respectively.

Free Rangers vs. Orioles MLB Pick

This has been a terrible week for the Rangers, as they were swept in a three-game set vs. the Brewers to start the week, now they are looking to salvage at least one game of this series vs. Baltimore. Heaney pitched fairly well in his last game vs. the Brewers, and his record in the month of June is 1-3, despite putting together a 3.62 ERA for the month. On the other end, Cole Irving had a 5.47 ERA in June. With the Rangers’ money line sitting at +133, I like them to pick up the win and break out of their losing streak.
