This is an 8* SUPER-BLOWOUT on the Orioles RUNLINE.

The Rangers have been surging, but at some point they're going to have a letdown. I'm predicting tonight is that night. With their season on the line, I like the Orioles to dig deep here and to find a way to deliver the goods. However, in a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, ultimately I'm going to recommend laying the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance.

It's the Rangers first home game so far in the playoffs, having gone 4-0 on the road. Baltimore though was also fantastic on the road this season, finishing 52-29 away from friendly confines.

Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 1.35 ERA) has been great for the Rangers so far, but he's just in the "wrong place" at the "wrong time" today in my estimation.

The visitors counter with Dean Kremer (13-5. 4.12) who will mke his first start since September 28th when he held the Red Sox scoreless on two hits over six innings.

For all the reasons listed above, the play is BALTIMORE on the RUNLINE option.

Good luck, NP
