With that said, it’s a good time to check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, which includes our Rangers-Astros prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>Texas, after a whirlwind of an offseason, sits at 49-61, 21 games out in the AL West, and nine in the wild card race. There are plenty of intriguing pieces on the roster and the upper levels of the minors, but alas, those pieces have not led to success this season.</p><p>Houston has been the envy of the league since going through a lengthy rebuild at the beginning of the 2010s. Now, Houston is tied for the second-best record in the MLB at 71-41. Yes, it is only August, but Houston has all but wrapped up the AL West crown.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rangers-Astros MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rangers-Astros Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (+105)</p><p>Houston Astros: -1.5 (-126)</p><p>Over: 8 (-115)</p><p>Under: 8 (-105)</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Texas signed two prominent middle infielders this offseason, adding Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. The two have been great this season, combining for 41 home runs and 31 doubles in 2022. Semien has added 19 stolen bases, one of three Rangers batters with double-digit stolen bases. As a team, Texas is second in the league with 86 stolen bases. Their 136 home runs are tied for eighth in the league. The offense has not been an issue for Texas, as seven players have reached double-digit home run totals. Adolis Garcia has belted 19 home runs and a team-leading 71 RBI. Catcher Jonah Heim, in his first extended playing time, has hit 13 home runs with a .442 slugging percentage.</p><p>It is no secret that pitching has been the kryptonite for this team. Texas’ 4.05 ERA ranks 20th in the league, and their 1.31 WHIP is 22nd. This afternoon, lefty Cole Ragans will be making his second career start. If you don’t know the story of Cole Ragans, do yourself a favor and google it. Ragans debuted spectacularly last week against the Chicago White Sox, tossing five innings with just one unearned run. Texas’ bullpen is slightly above-average, with their 3.72 ERA ranking 12th in the league. Lefties Brock Burke and Matt Moore have combined to a 1.58 ERA in 108.2 innings. Jonathan Hernandez has been solid in his eight innings, with a 2.25 ERA and two saves.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Houston has almost no holes on their roster following the trade deadline. Catcher Christian Vazquez is a clear upgrade, and Trey Mancini is finally playing for a contender. These two additions have added fuel to the fire of an already potent offense. Yordan Alvarez has 31 home runs and a .401 on-base percentage, both tops on the team. Kyle Tucker has chipped in with 20 home runs and 16 stolen bases. As a team, Houston has launched 154 home runs, third-most in the league, and their 194 doubles are ninth-most in the league. Alex Bregman has overcome his slow start and has rebounded to a .251 batting average with 56 RBI.</p><p>Houston will send lefty Framber Valdez to the mound this afternoon. Valdez has a 2.87 ERA in his 21 starts, including two complete games. Valdez is the only member of the starting rotation with less than double-digit home runs surrendered. Valdez’s high spin curveball is epic, and batters have hit just .151 against it, striking out 76 times. The Houston bullpen is arguably the best group in the league, with a league-leading 2.72 ERA, striking out 375 batters in 341 innings. Rafael Montero (1.55 ERA) and Ryne Stanek (1.15 ERA) have been two of the best relievers in the league. Closer Ryan Pressley has been phenomenal as well, with a 2.91 ERA and 22 saves.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>No need to overthink this one.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick: Houston -1.5 (-126), over 8 (-105)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Rangers Astros prediction and pick.</p><p>Glenn Otto goes to the hill for the Rangers, while Justin Verlander gets the call for the Astros.</p><p>Glenn Otto has a 5.31 ERA. He doesn’t get destroyed in his starts, but he very regularly gives up at least two runs, usually three or four, and he doesn’t pitch deep into the games he starts. That’s the profile of a pitcher with an ERA of well over five runs. Otto has allowed at least two runs in every start since May 25. He has not pitched into the seventh inning in any of his starts since May 25. He pitched six full innings in three starts since May 25.</p><p>The problem Otto and the Rangers face in this game is that Otto’s tendency to allow two to four runs in most starts — he has done so in all but four of his starts this year — offers very little margin for error against the man Texas will face in this matchup.</p><p>Justin Verlander will make two to four runs stand up in most games. Verlander’s ERA is 1.73. His July ERA was 1.01. He has allowed more than one earned run in only one of his last 10 starts, dating back to June 2. He is the clear front-runner in the American League Cy Young Award race, with Shane McClanahan and Alek Manoah struggling in recent weeks. Verlander is losing nothing on his fastball as he gets older, something longtime Astro fans can easily connect to another legendary Astro, fireballer Nolan Ryan.</p><p>Verlander can still bring the heat with a 97- or 98-mile-per-hour fastball when he really needs one in a big situation, but what makes him (and his fastball) so good is that he mixes in plenty of sliders and curveballs and is constantly giving batters a different mix and sequencing of pitches. Once in a while, on 3-2 counts or in other big spots, Verlander will unleash a changeup which gets hitters completely off balance.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Rangers-Astros</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Rangers-Astros Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (+126)</p><p>Houston Astros: -1.5 (-152)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-106)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-114)</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Rangers grabbed a quick 3-0 lead over the Astros on Tuesday but let the lead slip away. The Rangers have faltered late in a number of their games against the Astros this year, but if this is a game in which they can build a lead and protect it, they can change the equation. Justin Verlander is the best starting pitcher in the American League, but he has been so insanely good in recent weeks that he is bound to have a clunker at some point. Consider the parallel example of Clayton Kershaw, who had a 0.40 ERA in his first few starts in the month of July. He then stumbled in a July 24 start against the Giants and struggled before suffering a back injury. This doesn’t mean Verlander is going to have a back injury, but he might easily run into a bad start. He is overdue for one.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>They’re the best team in the American League, or at least the favorite to win the American League. The Rangers are not a good team at all. Justin Verlander versus Glenn Otto is a total mismatch. We don’t need to wonder who’s the favorite here.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Justin Verlander versus Glenn Otto. Enough said.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick: Astros -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Join us for our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, where our Rangers-Astros prediction and pick will be revealed.</p><p>With a 48-60 record entering play on Tuesday, time is running out on the Rangers’ season. With desperation at an all-time high, Texas will send out lefty Martin Perez, who has a 9-2 record with a 2.47 ERA on the year.</p><p>After a three-game winning streak, the Astros have surprisingly dropped two straight at the hands of the Guardians. Still at a remarkable 70-40, Houston will be eager to get back on track in pursuit of the AL’s best overall record with RHP Jose Uquirdy on the bump. Through 20 regular season starts, Uquirdy possesses a 10-4 record to go along with a 3.62 ERA.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rangers-Astros MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rangers-Astros Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-130)</p><p>Houston Astros: -1.5 (+108)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-120)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-102)</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>In their last five series coming after the All-Star Break, the Rangers have gone 1-3-1, which has further signaled there is more problems than not on this roster moving forward. It didn’t seem too long ago when prior to the season, Texas was big spenders in trying to transform the organization’s culture into a winning one. With the signing of SS Corey Seager, it seemed like Texas was ready to start their winning ways. While things don’t always go as planned and with postseason play appearing to be doubtful, the least the Rangers could do is cover the spread in tonight’s divisional duel.</p><p>For starters, Texas certainly cannot have a repeat of their series-losing contests against the White Sox when they were humiliated by a score of 8-2. Surprisingly, for a team that is currently 12 games below the .500 mark, the Rangers are capable of performing much better on the mound than what they showed against Chicago. In fact, Texas is ranked 21st in team ERA and even 15th in batting average allowed as a whole, so a gritty effort from Martin Perez could go a long way. Not to mention, but Perez has been dominant against the Astros this season with a 0.56 ERA in 16 innings pitched.</p><p>Offensively is where the Rangers could also use some work. While Texas has managed to muster up 481 runs this season, which is good for 15th most in the league, their inability to reach base tells a different story of a squad that has been largely inconsistent in 2022. Expect the bats to appear a little fresher after Monday’s off day signaled the first rest day after playing in 18 consecutive contests.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>When it comes to the total makeup of a team’s roster, few teams in the majors pose as dangerous of a threat as the Houston Astros of 2022. Whether it’s keeping hitters off-balanced within the batter’s box or slugging home runs off of opposing pitching, this roster definitely has the pieces to contend for another World Series.</p><p>To begin, Houston will be squaring off with a Texas team that has gone down in defeat in 15 of their last 22 games. Similar to Texas, the Astros stormed out of the All-Star Break with a daunting scheduled slate that saw themselves having to play in 19 games over an 18-day stretch. Since sweeping the Yankees on July 21st, they finished a disappointing 11-8 in Astros standards before finally receiving an off-day yesterday.</p><p>With their batteries recharged, be on the lookout for the ‘Stros and their bats to leave their mark in this one. On the season, Houston has actually been a middle-of-the-road type team with the sticks, as they rank 13th with 486 total runs, and 16th with a .241 batting average. The two statistical categories that the Astros have excelled in, come from a .316 on-base percentage and a .422 slugging percentage, both ranking 10th and 6th respectively.</p><p>Rested bats could prove to be just what the doctor ordered, as well as the dominance of Jose Uquirdy over the course of his last nine outings. During those appearances, Uquirdy has recorded nine consecutive quality starts and has pitched to the tune of a 2.29 ERA over that hot stretch. With a tenth straight performance where he pitches deep into this one, a spread-covering win is all but certain for this Astros bunch.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This matchup has the making of an epic pitchers duel. With both hurlers on an absolute tear of late, this game will come down to which arm will make the first mistake. Simply put, the Astros are just the better crew here and are playing for home-field advantage in the postseason as they try to keep up with the Yankees in the American League.

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, which includes our White Sox-Rangers prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>Chicago, at 53-52, sit just two games out in the AL Central, and three games out in the AL Wild Card. Key injured players are finally returning, and things may be looking up in the Windy City. Chicago has gone 6-4 in their last 10 games.</p><p>Texas is still on the outside looking into playoff contention, their 47-58 record is good for third in the AL West. Texas has made some headline moves, including Marcus Semien and Corey Seager, hopefully speeding up their rebuilding timeline.</p><p><b><i>Here are the White Sox-Rangers MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: White Sox-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Chicago White Sox: -1.5 (-108)</p><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-111)</p><p>Over: 8 (-104)</p><p>Under: 8 (-118)</p><h2><b>Why The White Sox Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Chicago will send out their best Friday night, as Dylan Cease will take the mound in the Lone Star state. Cease owns a 2.01 ERA, striking out 161 batters in just 116.2 innings. Cease has struck out 33.3% of the batters he has faced, ranking in the 95th percentile. Cease’s slider is one of the nastiest pitches in baseball, as batters have hit just .122 against it, with 94 strikeouts. Anytime Cease takes the mound, it is appointment television for die-hard pitching fans. Despite ranking 15th in bullpen ERA, the Chicago bullpen has some of the better relievers in the game. Kendall Graveman has a 2.76 ERA as a setup man, while closer Liam Hendriks has a 3.19 ERA and 21 saves, striking out 54 batters in just 36.2 innings.</p><p>Chicago’s offense is rounding into form, and that should alarm opposing teams. For the first time all season, Luis Robert, Jose Abreu, Eloy Jimenez, Yoan Moncada, and Yasmani Grandal were all in the same lineup (credit James Fegan). Chicago is hitting .258 as a team, the third-highest total in baseball. Abreu, Robert, and Anderson all own batting averages north of .300. Abreu, Robert, and Andrew Vaughn all have launched double-digit home runs. As this lineup continues to get healthier, Chicago will look more and more like a playoff team.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Texas is a team full of interesting parts but has not seemed to put it all together yet this season. Tonight’s starting pitcher is Glenn Otto, who was acquired in the lopsided Joey Gallo trade. Otto has been so-so this season, with a 5.50 ERA in his 15 starts. Otto has struggled mightily in Texas, with a 7.39 ERA at home. Still, there are signs of encouragement, as Otto has limited batters to a .188 batting average against his sinker, which he throws 26.4% of the time. Texas’s bullpen is average, ranking 13th in ERA with a 3.84 mark. Brock Burke has been masterful, with a 1.13 ERA in his 55.2 innings.</p><p>Offense has not been an issue for Texas, their 470 runs scored places them 15th in the league. Key offseason additions Corey Seager (24 home runs) and Marcus Semien (15 home runs, 19 steals) have been key components of this offense. Adolis Garcia, the breakout Texas star in 2021, has continued that success, with 18 home runs and 15 steals this season. Seven Rangers hitters have reached double-digit home run totals, culminating in 131 home runs as a team, eighth in baseball.</p><h2><b>Final White Sox-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This is a sneaky good matchup this weekend, but Cease is too tough a task for Texas.</p><p><b>Final White Sox-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick: Chicago -1.5 (-108), over 8 (-104)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our White Sox Rangers prediction and pick.</p><p>Johnny Cueto takes the bump for the White Sox, while Cole Ragans goes to the hill for the Rangers.</p><p>Johnny Cueto has a 2.86 ERA. In a four-start sequence in late May and early June, Cueto allowed 14 earned runs in 23 2/3 innings. That was his worst four-start sequence of the year. Since then, he has been superb. His July ERA was just 2.12. In his most recent start, he pitched seven strong innings against the A’s on July 30, allowing two solo home runs and nothing more. He is giving the White Sox what they need as they try to win the American League Central Division or snag the third and final wild card spot in the American League.</p><p>Cole Ragans is making his major-league debut for the Rangers. He is one of the team’s top-30 prospects and is getting a chance to prove himself here, with Texas clearly removed from the postseason hunt. The Rangers need to spend August and September developing younger players for next year. Ragans is definitely part of that process, and he should be. Texas has signed big-name veterans Marcus Semien and Corey Seager. Building around them with younger players is part of the Rangers’ long-term plan. Ragans’ main job is not to win — not right now — but to learn and develop so that when the 2023 season begins, he’ll have a much better understanding of how to do his job. Then the Rangers will need him to win, but this is on-the-job training on Thursday night against the White Sox.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the White Sox-Rangers</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: White Sox-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Chicago White Sox: -1.5 (+125)</p><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-150)</p><p>Over: 9 (-106)</p><p>Under: 9 (-114)</p><h2><b>Why The White Sox Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>Jose Abreu has a .345 batting average since June 1, the second-best average over the past two months in Major League Baseball. He and the White Sox played two really good games against the Royals on Tuesday and Wednesday after losing 2-1 to Kansas City on Monday. The White Sox have been one of the most frustrating and disappointing teams in the big leagues this year, but they come to Arlington knowing they’re right in the middle of the division race and the wild card hunt. They still have everything to play for, and they still have a very legitimate chance of making the playoffs.</p><p>They’re going up against a Ranger team which just got swept at home by the Orioles and has not played well in the second half of the season. Texas is sending a minor-league prospect to the mound for his MLB debut, while Chicago has a proven starter, Johnny Cueto, on the hill. The White Sox have to love the pitching matchup here.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>Corey Seager has a .366 average, four home runs, and two doubles in his career against Johnny Cueto. That’s more home runs than Seager has hit against any other pitcher. This is a great reason to think the Rangers can score several runs against the White Sox. Cole Ragans is a complete unknown. It could mean he will get shelled, but it could also mean the White Sox’ hitters won’t know how to attack him, since they don’t have a lot of game tape on him. The White Sox have been a surprisingly bad hitting team in 2022, so a bad performance here could certainly emerge.</p><h2><b>Final White Sox-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>If you want to trust the White Sox, that’s you choice. Sure, they have the advantage against a youngster making his big-league debut, but this is best viewed as a stay-away game. If you insist on a pick, take the White Sox, but staying away is the best move.</p><p><b>Final White Sox-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick: White Sox -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">MLB odds series</a>, which includes our Orioles-Rangers prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>Baltimore, the darlings of baseball, have a 53-51 record, just one and a half games out of a playoff spot, despite trading some key contributors. The team is in the middle of a rebuild, but seems to be nearing a contention window with the successes of this season.</p><p>Texas is still in the beginning stages of its rebuild, with a 46-57 record. Texas is likely out of luck for the playoffs, sitting eight games out of the final wild-card spot. The team is in the midst of a 4-6 stretch, playing bad baseball since July.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Orioles-Rangers MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Orioles-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Baltimore Orioles: +1.5 (-164)</p><p>Texas Rangers: -1.5 (+136)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-104)</p><h2><b>Why The Orioles Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Baltimore is one of the surprises of baseball, perhaps the biggest surprise of the season. Fan favorite Trey Mancini was traded away, but there are still good components in this lineup. Anthony Santander has 19 home runs and a .260 batting average. Austin Hays (24), Cedric Mullins (23), Ryan Mountcastle (22), and Adley Rutschman (22) all have slugged over 20 doubles. Baltimore’s 187 doubles rank seventh in the league. Their .235 average is only 23rd in the league. Baltimore also can steal bases, as their 65 steals are seventh in the league.</p><p>Baltimore’s pitching is pretty strong, ranking 13th in the league with a 3.89 ERA. This afternoon, rookie Kyle Bradish will be the starting pitcher. Bradish has struggled mightily this season, with a 7.01 ERA in his 11 starts. There are signs of encouragement for Bradish, as he has rung up 53 strikeouts in his 51.1 innings. Thankfully, the Baltimore bullpen is one of the best in baseball, even with the loss of closer Jorge Lopez. Felix Bautista is the most likely candidate to fill that role, with a 1.65 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 43.2 innings. Dillon Tate, who owns a 2.19 ERA, is another closer candidate. Cionel Perez (1.25 ERA) and Keegan Aiken (2.43 ERA) are two lefties that dominate out of the bullpen.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Texas has been rough this season, to say the least. One bright spot this year has been Martin Perez, today’s starting pitcher. Perez owns a 2.52 ERA in his 20 starts and a lowly 1.15 WHIP. Perez has a 2.60 ERA in his last 15 starts, going 9-0 in those 15 games. Perez’s success can be tied to his ability to miss barrels, ranking in the 91st percentile with the lowest barrel rate. Texas has an average bullpen, ranking 12th with a 3.78 ERA. Brock Burke and Matt Moore have been exceptional, both with ERAs below 2.00. Closer Joe Barlow is currently on a rehab assignment but has been good when healthy, with a 3.26 ERA and 13 saves.</p><p>Offensively, Texas’ strong offseason has boosted their offensive production. Their two big-ticket infield additions have been great, as Corey Seager has bashed 24 home runs, and Marcus Semien has 14 of his own. As a team, Texas is tied for eighth with 129 home runs. Seven Rangers have double-digit home runs.

It is about that time to take a look at our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">MLB odds series</a>, where our Orioles-Rangers prediction and pick will be selected.</p><p>After dropping a pair of games at the hands of the Reds, the Orioles bounced back nicely by putting on a beat down of the Rangers on Monday night by a score of 7-2. Don’t look now, but Baltimore certainly has a chance at a playoff berth in 2022. Looking to put the O’s two games above the .500 mark will be right-handed veteran Jordan Lyles, who has been up and down this season with a 7-8 record and a lofty 4.56 ERA.</p><p>With only a couple more months remaining in the Rangers season, it is do-or-die time in the Lone Star State. At 46-56, winning baseball games have become dire if they want to sneak back into the playoff conversation. Tasked with leading the troops to victory on the mound is RHP Spencer Howard, who has mustered up a 2-2 record with a 5.93 ERA in his six season starts.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Orioles-Rangers MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Orioles-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Baltimore Orioles: +1.5 (-194)</p><p>Texas Rangers: -1.5 (+162)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-122)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (+100)</p><h2><b>Why The Orioles Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Can you believe this team? After losing a whopping 110 games during the 2021 season, the Orioles now find themselves only 2.5 games removed in a competitive AL Wild Card race. Obviously, the AL East remains as one of the league’s most competitive divisions and hasn’t done Baltimore any favors, but they are battle tested and have proven they can withstand any obstacle that stands in their way.</p><p>With more than 50 games remaining on the regular season slate, the Orioles cannot afford to look ahead. Instead, they must take one game at a time and make sure they can handle only the things that they can control. This will especially be the case after the team shipped off long-time Oriole Trey Mancini to the Houston Astros. While this might be a blow to this lineup initially, in no way does this mean that they are short of weapons at their disposal.</p><p>Above all else, Baltimore should still receive steady play from right-fielder Anthony Santander. One of the biggest bats remaining in this lineup, Santander could be in for a big day against the Rangers this evening with his team-leading 19 home runs and 57 RBIs.</p><p>Additionally, Baltimore has been a fairly balanced team as a whole. This balance will be crucial in covering the spread and ultimately winning this matchup. On the season, Baltimore has scored the 19th-most runs in the league with 432 and has pitched to the beat of a 3.91 ERA from the bump.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Can the Rangers provide their fans with something to be excited about before the Dallas Cowboys begin their season in the next month? As of now, that remains doubtful. Like other teams around the league that have also struggled through their first 100 games of the season, Texas has been plagued by injuries and inconsistent play. As it stands, Texas trails by eight games in the Wild Card Race. While crazier things have occurred, the Rangers will need to put the pedal to the metal if they want a taste of the playoffs.</p><p>In order to cover the spread in this matchup, the Rangers need to find creative ways to get the offense going. Whether this means they’ll play some small ball with men on base, or maybe even put runners into motion on the base path by being aggressive, an uptick in production at the plate seems inevitable. Not to mention, but this is already a bunch that has struggled to be comfortable when up to bat, as Texas has the fourth-lowest on-base percentage in the majors and is only slashing .239 as a team collectively. Regardless, it should be refreshing to smack the baseball at their home ballpark, as the Rangers have played in just one contest at Globe Life Park since the All-Star Break.</p><p>In Monday’s defeat, it was the pitching that showcased their scuffling ways. After the final out was recorded, Texas arms surrendered seven runs on twelve hits. This is no doubt a disturbing trend that cannot continue to be replicated.  Alas, the 26-year-old Spencer Howard must need to be sharp, and pitching at least five innings will give the rest of the hurlers on this roster some much-needed juice.</p><h2><b>Final Orioles-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Baltimore starter Jordan Lyles is 1-6 with a 6.89 ERA in eleven career appearances versus the Rangers while Spencer Howard is 2-1 in his last four starts. The Orioles may be a vastly improved bunch on the diamond this season, but the ghosts of last year’s team will rear their ugly head in this Tuesday night showdown.</p><p><b>Final Orioles-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick: Rangers -1.5 (+162) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">MLB odds series</a>, which includes our Orioles-Rangers prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>Baltimore enters the contest enter at 51-51 with a 5-5 record over its past 10 games. With the New York Yankees — who boast the best record in the American League — sitting atop the AL East, the division race has long been out of the picture for the Orioles. However, they find themselves just three games back of the final Wild Card spot after a productive month of July.</p><p>Texas, meanwhile, has struggled significantly this summer. The Rangers entered June at .500, but it has been downhill since then, posting a 22-31 record over the past two months. They currently sit at 46-55 on the year and are 7 1/2 games back of the American League’s final Wild Card spot.</p><p>Baltimore swept Texas in the only series between the teams earlier this season.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Orioles-Rangers MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Orioles-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Baltimore Orioles: +1.5 (-160) ML: (+134)</p><p>Texas Rangers: -1.5 (+132) ML: (-158)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-104)</p><h2><b>Why The Orioles Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>While the Orioles have cooled off a little bit as of late, losing the final two games of their most recent series against the Cincinnati Reds, they’re still one of the hotter teams in baseball over the past few weeks. They inserted themselves into the playoff hunt with a 10-game winning streak last month. Their hitting improved during this stretch, ranking 15th in MLB in runs scored, which bumped then up to 21st overall for the season. Pitching was the driving force in their turnaround, though, ranking eighth in MLB and third in the American League with a 3.61 ERA in July.</p><p>29-year-old right-hander Spenser Watkins is among the pitchers who have increased their productivity recently, posting a 3.09 ERA over his last seven starts, which includes a successful outing against Texas. On July 6, he allowed just four hits, one walk and one earned run in a victory over the Rangers, and he’ll be looking to build off this in Monday’s game. Watkins missed some time in late May and early June with a forearm injury, but he has enjoyed his best baseball of the year since coming off the injured list. After watching his ERA soar to 6.00, he has allowed only six earned runs over his last 28 innings, with a 2.35 ERA and .241 opponent’s batting average in July.</p><p>Outfielder Anthony Santander is another individual hitting his stride at the perfect moment. Over the last seven games, Santander leads the team with a 1.298 OPS, .444 batting average, .483 on-base percentage, .815 slugging percentage, three home runs, seven RBI and 22 total bases. Catcher Adley Rutschman has recorded a team-high six runs scored and four walks during this stretch, and Rutschman, designated hitter Trey Mancini and shortstop Jorge Mateo all have an OPS above .700 for the past week.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Much like his counterpart in the other dugout, Texas starter Jon Gray has picked up his pace after a slow start to 2022. He has a respectable 7-5 record with a 3.62 ERA on the season, but he has been even better lately, posting a 5-2 record and 2.72 ERA over his last seven starts. This will mark his first time going up against the Orioles this year.</p><p>Pitching was a source of problems for the Rangers last month, with their 4.47 ERA in July being the fourth-highest in the American League, but their performance at the plate generates some optimism. They ranked fourth in all of baseball with 135 runs scored last month and have posted better numbers than Baltimore this year in OPS, batting average, runs scored and home runs, as well as most other hitting categories.</p><h2><b>Final Orioles-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>In a matchup of two teams that seem fairly even on paper, relief pitching could be a deciding factor. The Rangers have a 3.79 bullpen ERA, which ranks just outside the top 10 in MLB. The Orioles, however, are fourth in all of baseball with a 3.05 bullpen ERA in 2022. With two starting pitchers who have picked up momentum recently, as well as a Texas offense that has been pretty productive and a Baltimore squad that has improved its performance at the plate after a rough start to the year, playing the over-under might be risky. Considering the Orioles have been the better team for the past month, taking them on the money line at +134 has some value here.</p><p><b>Final Orioles-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick: Orioles ML (+134)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Rangers Angels prediction and pick.</p><p>Dane Dunning gets the call for the Rangers, while Reid Detmers takes the bump for the Angels.</p><p>Dane Dunning has a 4.38 ERA. He is a pitcher with a relatively low ceiling. Even when he pitches particularly well, he usually allows several baserunners and has to pitch around hits or walks. One example: On June 24 against the Nationals, he allowed just one run in six innings, but he pitched around seven hits and a walk. On June 14 against the Astros, he pitched six scoreless innings but had to work around four walks. His best performance of the season was against the Braves on April 30, when he went 7 2/3 innings and allowed just one run on only four hits and no walks. He was in control and allowed very little action on the basepaths. The inability to get on top of opposing hitters and smother them limits what Dunning is capable of. His best games generally are two-run, six-inning games. When a 3.00 ERA is a pitcher’s ceiling, that’s a relatively low ceiling. The Rangers need to see if Dunning can raise that ceiling over the remaining two months of the season.</p><p>Reid Detmers pitched a no-hitter on May 10 against the Rays. He and the Angels were riding high back then. In the subsequent two and a half months, the Angels have crashed and burned. Detmers has not matched what he did on that special night, but after wobbling a bit, he has stabilized and given Los Angeles a steady presence in the starting rotation. Detmers’ ERA after that no-hitter on May 10 was 3.77. His current ERA: 3.84. His ERA did rise to 4.66 on June 21. He then missed two and a half weeks. He returned on July 8 and has been brilliant ever since. In his three starts after his return to the rotation, Detmers has pitched to a 1.06 ERA: 17 innings pitched, two earned runs, no homers allowed. Let’s see if he can keep it up.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Rangers-Angels</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Rangers-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-205)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (+168)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-110)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-110)</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Rangers are a better team than the Angels. They let one slip away on Saturday, blowing a 7-4 lead with six outs to go. The Angels scored five in the eighth to win. The Rangers are just about out of time in terms of making a run at an American League wild card spot. Mathematically, they’re not out of it, trailing the Rays by 8.5 games. Realistically, though, they don’t have much of a chance … unless they can get really hot and stay hot all the way to the end of the season on Oct. 5. The Rangers should be highly motivated to play their best in this game. Dane Dunning isn’t a great pitcher, but he can give them six innings and allow three runs. That will give them a decent chance to win.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After their stirring comeback on Saturday, the Angels — who scored just two runs combined in the first two games of this four-game series — should feel like a new team. Scoring nine runs in a game is something the Angels have rarely done since their tailspin began in late May. When everyone hits the ball well, that can change everything for a team. Dane Dunning is certainly a pitcher they can feast on. Meanwhile, Reid Detmers has been terrific since returning to the rotation in early July. He is pitching a lot better than Dunning right now. He gives the Halos a meaningful edge here.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>If you want to bet on a Rangers-Angels game, you’re basically flipping a coin. Did you predict that the Rangers would shut out the Angels and beat Shohei Ohtani on Thursday? Did you predict that the Rangers would take a 7-4 lead into the eighth and then give up five runs on Saturday? This is a volatile, unpredictable series.

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Rangers Angels prediction and pick.</p><p>Glenn Otto gets the ball for the Rangers, while Chase Silseth takes the hill for the Angels.</p><p>Glenn Otto has a 5.37 ERA. His ERA for the month of July is 5.47. In his most recent start on July 25 against the Mariners, he pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed three runs. His ERA went from 5.40 to 5.37 as a result of that performance. It’s clear that Otto is who he is. The ERA is entirely reflective of his performance. A five-run ERA means five earned runs in nine innings, which means 2.5 runs every 4.5 innings. When a pitcher is constantly failing to pitch at least six innings per start, and when he gives up two or three runs per start, that is precisely what a five-run ERA pitcher will do. The stats and the pitching lines don’t lie with Otto: He has given up at least two runs in each of his last seven starts, and failed to pitch six full innings in all but one of those starts. This is a case where the stats do tell an accurate story of an athlete’s performance in a given season.</p><p>Chase Silseth has a 5.84 ERA, but that really doesn’t matter much in the larger scheme of things. He has pitched only twice since June 3, and his most recent appearance was July 7. Who knows what he will bring to the table in this game? Silseth has made six appearances in 2022, totaling 24 2/3 innings. His ERA in his first three starts of the year was 3.07. His ERA in his last three starts was over nine runs. Again, though, those recent starts aren’t last week. He hasn’t pitched for the Angels in three and a half weeks. He is a total mystery right now.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Rangers-Angels</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Rangers-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-200)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (+164)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-114)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-106)</p><p><b><i>*Watch MLB Games LIVE with</i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408"> <b><i>fuboTV (click for free trial)</i></b><b><i><br></i></b></a></p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>Chase Silseth is not a proven, reliable, or — for that matter — healthy pitcher. He needs to prove he can perform. In the absence of said proof, the Rangers have to like their chances in this matchup. The Angels, destroyed by injuries and low on morale, are playing the lifeless, aimless baseball of a team just playing out the string in September. They aren’t a good spoiler, they aren’t offering any resistance, and they have virtually no offense other than Shohei Ohtani at this point. The Rangers have smothered the Angels’ bats in the first two games of this series. Even with a mediocre pitcher, Glenn Otto, on the mound, they have to feel confident about this game.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After getting dominated by Texas pitching on Thursday and Friday, the Angels — though they are banged up and bruised — are bound to get a few more big hits. This offense, like any really bad offense, is still going to emerge in an occasional game over the course of a long season and have a good night. Going up against Glenn Otto is precisely the situation in which the Angels can, for just one game, rise up. The Angels are a bad team, but in a one-game situation against a pitcher they can handle, they can surely score a decisive win.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>If you want to predict a game between Glenn Otto and Chase Silseth, go on ahead … but this is frankly a stay-away situation. If you insist on a pick, the Rangers are obviously the better choice, but again, why trust your money on the Texas Rangers in 2022? Always remember you don’t have to bet on every game. No one is forcing you to.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Rangers +1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Rangers Angels prediction and pick.</p><p>Martin Perez gets the call for the Rangers, while Patrick Sandoval gets the start for the Angels.</p><p>Martin Perez has a 2.59 ERA. He has been terrific for Texas this season. That said, he has struggled over the past month. His ERA on June 5 was 1.56, so his ERA has risen by more than one full run since then. His ERA was still lower than two runs, at 1.96, heading into the final week of June, but in a three-start sequence from June 27-July 9, Perez faltered. He allowed 13 runs in those three starts, encompassing 18 2/3 innings. The pitcher who produced a spectacular 0.64 ERA in the entire month of May was nowhere to be found.</p><p>In his last two starts, however, Perez has regained form. He has allowed just two runs in his last 12 innings and has stabilized. Given how depleted the Angels’ batting order currently is, Perez should expect to deliver a strong start in Anaheim.</p><p>Patrick Sandoval has a 3.64 ERA. That’s not terrible, to be sure, but his ERA was 1.79 on May 22, just before the Angels’ catastrophic, season-altering 14-game losing streak from which they never recovered. He got knocked around in a few starts. In mid-to-late June, he stabilized by producing three straight strong outings. In July, however, it has all come apart for Sandoval, whose ERA for the month — entering this July 29 start — is 7.11. That is why his season ERA is above 3.60. Sandoval has allowed 29 hits in 19 innings pitched in July. He has allowed only one home run, but hitters are consistently putting the ball in play against him. He has also allowed nine walks in those 19 innings, another reason for his struggles this month. Sandoval has to regain command and find better location on his pitchers. Let’s not try to overcomplicate matters.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Rangers-Angels</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Rangers-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: -1.5 (+162)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-196)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-105)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-115)</p><p><b><i>*Watch MLB Games LIVE with</i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408"> <b><i>fuboTV (click for free trial)</i></b><b><i><br></i></b></a></p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>They are a better team than the Angels. They beat the Halos on Thursday night even though Shohei Ohtani pitched well for Los Angeles. The Rangers were able to shut out the Angels and take advantage of all the injuries to a very hollowed-out Halo batting order. Martin Perez has been Texas’ best starting pitcher this season. He should be able to thrive in this matchup. As long as the Rangers can score a modest amount of runs and not make huge defensive mistakes, they should be in great shape here.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After getting shut out on Thursday, the Angels — while hardly at full strength — should still be able to bounce back and score reasonably well. The Rangers are not a tremendous hitting team. They were handled by Ohtani on Thursday and can certainly be kept under wraps. Perez is a superb pitcher, but he could very easily lose a 3-2 or 4-2 decision to the Halos in this game. The Rangers might be the better team, but they’re not a good team. They could easily step on a rake in this contest; after all, they lost a series to the Oakland Athletics last weekend. They’re also very tired as they work toward the end of a very long road trip which began last Thursday, July 21.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The pitching matchup between Perez and Sandoval cuts clearly in Texas’ favor, given Sandoval’s recent struggles. Maybe Sandoval will bounce back here, but Texas is the better choice. Perez should dominate the Halos’ bats.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Rangers -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It is about that time to take an exclusive look at our  <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">MLB odds series,</a> where our Rangers-Angels prediction and pick will be made.</p><p>After an abysmal stretch that has seen the Rangers limp their way to a 43-54 mark by going 2-9 in their last 11, winning one game at a time is priority number one for Texas. While they will need to dig themselves out of a deep hole, crazier things have happened in the sport of baseball. In an attempt to rejuvenate the troops, Texas will call upon right-hander Spencer Howard who has struggled at times with a 1-2 record and 7.11 ERA in his limited sample size.</p><p>Obviously a major advantage, the Angels will hope to use a stellar outing from Ohtani to begin to hopefully save what has been a disastrous season up to this point. The two-way superstar remains one of the game’s best pitchers with a 9-5 record and a 2.80 ERA to boot.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rangers-Angels MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rangers-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-113)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (-105)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-110)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-110)</p><p><b><i>*Watch MLB Games LIVE with </i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408"><b><i>fuboTV (click for free trial)</i></b></a></p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Barely sitting above the Angels in the third-place slot in the AL West, winning baseball games has never been direr for the Rangers. While Texas has seen its fair share of wins pile up consecutively earlier in the year, they have not been able to remain consistent enough to keep things rolling. In fact, their streaky ways have cost them dearly.</p><p>Without a doubt, the Rangers are smack dab in the middle of what has been a pretty lackluster American League West division. A big part of that has been the underwhelming play of both the Rangers and the Angels, as both sides have performed far below expectations coming into the season. Regardless, one side is destined to come out triumphant in hopes to undergo a miraculous season turnaround.</p><p>In order to cover the spread, Texas must have a quick memory after recently getting swept by Seattle. The bats were colder than a room full of ex-wives, as the Rangers combined to score only nine runs during the three-game series. Already a team that has showcased a few holes in the bats on the season, the Rangers certainly cannot afford to not hit against LA.</p><p>To make matters worse, the pitching statistics suggest that they haven’t been a whole lot better from the rubber. Approaching 100 games played on the season, Texas is tied for the 20th-best ERA at 4.10 and only has 31 quality starts under their belts. In one career start versus the Angels, expected twirler Spencer Howard has seen his fair shares of up and downs at the major league level. A standout in Triple-A, Howard’s lone start against the Angels came in and he gave up three runs in 2 1/3 innings of limited action back on August 5th of last year.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Year after year, the Angels always seem to outdo themselves when it comes to not living up to the hype. Prior to the 2022 MLB season, it appeared that Los Angeles had all of the pieces to be a possible contender in the American League. The Angels even stormed out of the gates hot during the first month of the campaign, going 27-17 and providing hope to the people of Anaheim. Then, LA seemed to hit a brick wall at full speed. The losses begin to mount, and now with only a few days left in July, Los Angeles needs to get hot to avoid another letdown of a season.</p><p>With Mike Trout remaining on the bench with rib and back injuries, the Angels will need other playmakers to step up to fill that kind of production. It all starts with possibly the face of the league in “Shotime” himself, as the Rangers will be getting double-trouble when suiting up for play this evening. With an electric bat and a dominant pitching presence, there hasn’t been quite a player like Ohtani since Babe Ruth nearly 100 years ago. Anything is possible when Ohtani laces up the cleats and squares off with his opposition on the diamond.</p><p>Don’t sleep on the rest of the pitching arms in the Angels clubhouse as well. With Los Angeles coming off back-to-back shutouts in Kansas City, the Angels’ arms are definitely one of the lone bright spots on this team. The offense is prone to hit dry spells, so look for Ohtani and the Angels bullpen to carry the load if they are going to cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>A pair of mediocre teams square off on the diamond with desperation at an all-time high. What could go wrong? Shohei Ohtani will shut down the Rangers in this one and the Angels will do just enough at the plate to take care of business.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Angels -1.5 (-105)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
