Two teams whose World Series odds have shortened tremendously since the start of the year wrap up a three game series on Sunday, May 28th when the Rangers(33-18, 17-10 away) take on the Orioles(33-19, 15-10 home) at Camden Yards.

First pitch on Sunday afternoon is scheduled to go at 1:35 pm ET in a game that can be seen on MASN2 and Bally Sports Network. Yet to have been been swept this season, the Orioles find themselves in that very predicament at home on Sunday after Texas took the first two games handily.

Check out the Rangers vs Orioles odds for the series finale below, while we also analyze the matchup, giving you our best betting prediction and player props that could make you some extra green.

Team Moneyline Runline Total
Texas Rangers +115 +1.5 (-165) O 8.5 (-115)

Regardless, count on a beautiful day for baseball in Baltimore with temperatures expected to be around 70 degrees, with lots of sun and very little wind.

Texas vs Baltimore Probable Pitchers

Working out of the bullpen to begin the season, Dane Dunning threw 16 consecutive scoreless inning to start the year before getting touched up in his two final relief appearances.

He started all 29 games he pitched in last season, and in May the Rangers shifted him to the starting rotation where he has been dominant this month. The 28-year old has thrown at least five innings in all four of his starts, allowing just four runs in those appearances.

Owner of a 1.67 ERA, he’d be leading all of baseball in that category, but doesn’t have the minimum amount of innings pitched to qualify at this point, as he’s only tossed 43 innings due to spending the majority of the season in the bullpen. No team has scored more than two runs against the Dunning this campaign.

Dunning vs Bradish Stats

Dane Dunning
VS
Kyle Bradish
4-0 Record 2-1
1.67 ERA 4.34
0.98 WHIP 1.39
.206 OBA .269
2.6 SO/W Ratio 2.4

Still looking to solidify his spot in the Orioles rotation, Kyle Bradish has been plagued by inconsistency during his second season in the big leagues, an issue for most youngsters vying to make their mark as starters at the top level.

Blessed with an arsenal of terrific pitches that includes a devastating slider, the sophomore righty is part of a trio of starters along with Tyler Wells and Dean Kremer, that the O’s have high hopes for.

Being able to go further in his outings is one thing that Baltimore would love to see. In eight starts this season, Bradish has gone beyond the sixth inning just one time. He’ll be in tough on Sunday against one of the best
MLB lineups that ranks near the top of the league in most major offensive categories.

Rangers vs Orioles Player Prop Picks

Since returning to the lineup in mid-May, shortstop Corey Seager has been red hot for the Rangers, giving bettors added incentive to lay down cash on them in the division odds, where Houston are still favorites.

In nine games of action after coming back from injury, Seager has hit safely in seven and also hit three bombs to go along with an incredible 14 RBI in those contests. He’s definitely worth a wager to go over 0.5 hits on Sunday.

To his right, third baseman Josh Jung has been everything that the Rangers could have hoped for, plus some through the first two months of the year. He now has a 10 game hitting streak and extra base hits in his last six, so ride the wave and take Jung to go over 1.5 total bases after going 4-for-9 through the first two games of this series.

Rangers vs Orioles Predictions

As visitors, the Rangers actually have a better record than the O’s do as hosts this season. Given the obvious advantage in the pitching matchup with Dunning’s spectacular form as a starter, it comes as a bit of a surprise that Baltimore are chalk in the MLB odds.

Almost every team is going to get swept at least once during a 162 game season and the Orioles have done well to avoid that dubious distinction up to this point, but our prediction is the buck stops here. Pick the Rangers at plus money to bring the brooms out.

Pick: Texas Rangers Moneyline (+115)
