Glen Otto gets the call for Texas as he tries to put an end to his team's three-game slide. The righty is 4-4 with a 5.63 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, and he's struggled in his last two outings. Over his last two, he's thrown six innings, allowing 10 hits and 10 earned runs. This Baltimore lineup has already plated 17 runners through the first two games of the series. Look for them to keep their bats hot in the finale.

The home side will have Spenser Watkins on the hill, who is sporting a 4.61 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through 10 starts. Watkins has been excellent in his last two appearances, surrendering just one earned run in 11 frames. He has had some outings where he's been lit up and pulled early, but it seems like he's in a groove entering Wednesday's contest.

The Rangers' offense ranks in the middle of the pack in most categories, but when it comes to home runs, they're fifth-best in the MLB. Watkins usually keeps the ball in the park, so look for him to build off of his recent success.
