The Texas Rangers (57-58) look to get back to .500 with a three game series on the horizon versus Baltimore (56-59) with the opener available on Apple TV.
Texas is in the final AL Wild Card spot, whereas Baltimore is 1.0 game back of the Rangers. Texas enters on a two-game winning streak after losing six consecutive games. The Rangers scored four or fewer runs in all six losses, but turned around with five and six runs scored in the last two wins over San Francisco.
Baltimore is 10-8 in the second half of the season and coming off a loss to the Angels, although the Orioles won the series, 2-1. The O’s offense has gone silent lately. To start August, Baltimore has scored nine runs in five games (last) and hitting an MLB-worst .159. The only bright spot of the offense is they’ve hit five home runs in the last five games but three of them have been solo shots (7 of 9 runs have come on homers).
