The Baltimore Orioles have become a ridiculously good UNDER play with the club failing to top the closing total in 19 of their past 21 games. Those 21 games have seen the O’s and their opponents combine for an average of 6.9 runs per game. Baltimore rounds out their series with the Texas Rangers Thursday.
- Wade Miley will be the first left-handed pitcher to start for the Orioles this season.
- The Rangers are 7-21 against the runline in their past 28 games.
- The Rangers are 3-9 in their past 12 games at Camden Yards.
Wade Miley will make his Orioles' debut after being acquired from the Seattle Mariners at the trade deadline. Miley has struggled in his rare starts at Camden Yards during his career with an 8.03 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP in three trips to the mound in Baltimore.
A.J. Griffin has been solid so far this season, but the Rangers have supplied the righty with some fantastic run support. Texas has scored 5.85 runs per game when Griffin takes to the bump, which is the 13th-best run support in the MLB.
