Today we present MLB betting odds for the Orioles vs. Rangers courtesy of the sportsbook at the Bodog.com online sports betting website.
Baltimore has struggled on the road lately, as they are 5-14 in their last 19 games away from the friendly confines of Orioles Park at Camden Yards. Their past nine games overall have been particularly dismal as the club is 3-6 with a 9.00 team ERA.
Texas has been up and down of late as they are 8-7 in their last 15 games and they just lost two of three games to the lowly Florida Marlins. Overall the Rangers are 24-18 in home games during the 2011 MLB season.
Despite having a full 15 game slate to choose from, nothing really jumped of the page at us today. We went with this game primarily because of the pitching match-up, the Orioles record on the road, and the fact that the Rangers are simply the better team.
