On Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles (101-61), who currently lead the series against the Texas Rangers (90-72), will go ཧto Globe Life Field to compete against the Rangers in Game 3 of the series. The Rangers are already up 2-0 heading into𝔉 game 3, and they will be coming into this contest with great expectations.

The Texas Rangers have a team slugging percentage of.452, and they score an average of 5.44 runs per game, which ranks third in all of baseball. They have racked up 881 runs and have 326 hits that have resulted in a total of two bases being gained for each of those hits. The Texas Rangers have been responsible for 233 home runs and 845 runs batted in collectively during the course of the season.

In addition to having a club batting average of.263, the Texas Rangers have registered an on-base percentage of.337 for the year. The Texas Rangers starting pitchers have given up 683 earned runs so far this season, contributing to the team's 4.28 earned run average (total runs allowed: 716). They have allowed 198 home runs and 4.49 runs per nine innings, which places them 14th in the league in both categories.

They have scored 807 runs as a team and have an on-base percentage of.321, which is better than the league average. The Baltimore Orioles are currently scoring 5.0 runs per game, which ranks them seventh in Major League Baseball (MLB).

It really seems to me that the Texas Rangers still have some business to attend to in this series, and they are not yet in a relaxed state about it. I🀅n the meantime, although I believe the Baltimore Orioles need to win this match in order to bring themselves into this match, they certainly won't have it easy. In the meantime, seeing as how t🍰he Texas Rangers are performing very well to capitalize on their home field, I have little choice but to pick the team that is playing on their own territory.
