There will be a lopsided pitching duel tonight at Camden Yards when two southpaws face off, with Cole Hamels going for the Texas Rangers and Wade Miley for the Baltimore Orioles. Hamels has been lethal over his last 3 starts, going 2-0, with a ridiculous ERA of 0.82, a WHIP of just 0.50, and has held opponents scoreless in his last 21 innings. Texas bats have been silent but if they’re going to break out of their funk, it should be tonight against Wade Miley. Over Miley’s last 3 starts, he is 1-2, with a bloated ERA of 11.25, a WHIP of 2.75, and was rocked in his last outing by the Chicago Cubs, surrendering 7 runs on 9 hits with 4 walks over 4-2/3 innings. Texas can hit lefties, going 5-2 in their last 7 games, as opposed to Baltimore, who is 3-8 in their last 11 games against southies. The Rangers have lost 4 in a row but I like their chances tonight to get back on track.
Tonight’s Pick:
Texas Rangers
