Rangers vs. Orioles: Game 3 prediction, odds, injuries and picks

Two-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom and his Rangers are looking to claim Game 3 against the gritty Orioles squad in Camden Yards. The two teams have one win apiece after Texas won in extras yesterday.

deGrom has posted a 3-0 record with a 1.80 ERA across four starts in June. Meanwhile, his opposite number, Brandon Young, will be making just his third start of the year. He owns a 6.23 ERA heading into the matchup against the decorated Cy Young winner.

Rangers vs. Orioles recent form and records

With a 39-41 record, the Rangers are fourth in the American League West standings. One of the key struggles for Bruce Bochy's squad has been their batting, as proven by their .657 OPS, which ranks third-worst across MLB.

Likewise, the O's themselves aren't faring any better as both of their pitching and batting lineups have sputtered all year long. They're at the bottom of the AL East with a 34-45 record and have incurred a -80 run differential.
