Offensively, the likes of Ryan O'Hearn, Gunnar Henderson, Cedric Mullins and Jackson Holliday have done well for the Orioles.

For Texas, it's ace Nathan Eovaldi, who has been far better than his counterpart, boasting a 4-3 record, along with a 1.87 ERA and 75 total strikeouts. At the plate, Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Josh Smith and Adolis Garcia are the key players for the visitors.
