Prediction

Pick: Texas Rangers to cover +1.5

The Texas Rangers have been one of the better teams in the league this season and are playing at home. While Andrew Heaney has been solid for the Orioles, Dean Kremer and the Rangers' offense should be able to keep this game close or even pull off the win. Given the Rangers' strong record and home-field advantage, taking the Rangers to cover the +1.5 spread is a reasonable pick.
