Baltimore at Texas

Everyone keeps waiting for the Baltimore Orioles to fade but they keep winning. Through 121 games, if the season ended today, this team is in the playoffs. The fact is they are not fading. They are playing better, having now won 11 of their last 15 games. They have held their oppoenets to 3 runs or less in 10 of their last 15 games so its easy to see why this team is on an up-tick right now. The Rangers are in fact the team that has not played well as we head down the stretch. They were 20 games over .500 thirty games ago. But, a 15-15 run over hose last 30 leaves them still at 20 games over .500. Baltimore has won each of Gonzalez' last four road starts, and the Rangers once consistent pitching has betrayed them now just 4-10 in their last 14 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. Play on Baltimore.
