Take the Rangers-135 here to finish off this series. Texas goes with Nathan Eovaldi, a well above average pitcher with playoff experience. Battimore goes with Dean Kremer who had an expected ERA of 4.96, he is an average big league pitcher who has been off 11 days. Lefties have a .811 OPS against Kremer and Texas will have six lefties counting the switch hitters. I also went under 4.5 strike out for Kremer.

Are the Orioles really going to do us like this in a sweep? Gotta take another RL shot. They were amazing on the road during the regular season and Dean Kremer had a 2.89 ERA over his last 10 starts. He's an Israeli-American with dual citizenship and extended family in Israel so kudos to him being able to pitch through all that's going on over there (at least he says he can focus), and I will personally root for him to do well tonight. Texas' Nate Eovaldi really struggled in September before a solid outing in the WC series.

The Orioles are facing elimination with Dean Kremer on the mound. That’s not ideal, given that Kremer had a mediocre 4.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP this season. Left-handed hitters had a .467 slugging percentage and a .349 wOBA against him, which is noteworthy because the Rangers have some dangerous lefties, including Corey Seager. The Rangers are starting Nathan Eovaldi, who has a 2.90 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in the playoffs for his career. Against the Rays in the previous round, he allowed one run and had eight strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings. Look for the Rangers to pull off the sweep.
