Predicted Outcome
With Nathan Eovaldi sporting a 1.87 ERA and pitching in a ballpark that subtly favors arms on hot nights, the edge lies with Texas. The Orioles’ inconsistency on the road and Sugano’s elevated ERA away from home create a mismatch. Expect the Rangers to control the pace early and their bullpen to hold firm late.
