This is a 10* on TEXAS

The Rangers were beaten 5-2 by the Orioles last night, but we look for them to even this series up at a game apiece Saturday night. There’s a huge edge in starting pitching tonight as Dane Dunning goes against Dean Kremer. Dunning, the Rangers starter, has looked great thus far. He’s allowed just one run in two starts (it came on a home run) and only five hits as well. He was a hard luck loser the last time out as Texas fell 1-0 to Tampa Bay. But Dunning can expect his offense to put some runs on the board here against Baltimore’s Kremer, who has only managed to make it three innings in each of his two starts to this point. He’s given up seven runs. A pitcher with a 0.78 WHIP facing a pitcher with a 2.33 WHIP sounds like a real mismatch to us. Baltimore is 5-2 on the road so far, not something you’d expect from a team that’s expected to be really bad this season. So fade them accordingly moving forward, including tonight as we don’t see them as likely to win two in a row here. Especially with the starting pitching matchup so obviously not in their favor. Play on TEXAS
