Rangers stalwart Cole Hamels is riding a 21-inning scoreless streak, allowing just seven hits and two walks Orioles starter Wade Miley as I mentioned in his last start is a below-average Major League pitcher, in my opinion. I think the Rangers, behind Hamels, deserve to be in the -130 to -140 range against the Orioles on Thursday.

Perhaps no starting pitcher has been as sporadic as the Orioles' Wade Miley. Thursday, he’ll contend with red-hot Cole Hamels of the Rangers. In his last three starts, Hamels has allowed just nine hits combined and two runs. Yet, the Orioles are a rare team that you can back with confidence following a double-digit run performance. Grab the Orioles Thursday.

My projections see the struggling Rangers getting back on track Thursday behind Cole Hamels against the Orioles. Texas is winning 63 percent of my simulations, providing a minster value against the relatively flat price. The Rangers are on a 5-1 run in Hamel’s road starts against teams with losing records. The Orioles have lost four straight behind Wade Miley against AL West opponents.
