Game Preview
By capturing 101 matches during this campaign, the Orioles were able to lock up the top spot in the AL postseason. Since the Orioles took 102 matches and made the World Series in 1979, this represents one of the most successful campaigns in the history of the organization.
The Orioles now are at risk of getting swept in the postseason after suffering consecutive home defeats. The Rangers are now given the potential to sweep them after not doing so throughout the course of the regular season. They’ll be coming home after an incredible 4-0 road postseason record over AL East juggernauts like the Rays and Orioles.
The opening game, which the Orioles dropped in a close score, was never in doubt up until the bottom of the 9th inning. Jorge Mateo has had 4 at-bats and has not been struck out offensively. He has 4 hits, including 2 doubles, and a single RBI. Aaron Hicks, Anthony Santander, and Gunnar Henderson have all fumbled in this series. Despite giving the Orioles an adequate start, Kyle Bradish was unable to complete 5 innings of work. The Orioles’ pitching staff has walked 16 players and allowed 19 hits during the first two contests.
Throughout the postseason, the Rangers’ offense has been on fire. The Rangers are batting .264 in this set, have 2 home runs, and have scored 14 runs. Josh Jung is 3-for-3 with a double and a homer. The one and only additional homer for the Rangers came from Mitch Garver, who also hit a grand slam in the second match of this series. Although it is only the playoffs, no-one of the Rangers’ pitchers has pitched more than 5 innings. Texas has walked 7 batters and struck out 14 in both of its contests. This season, the Rangers’ offense was stronger at home than away, despite their recent 4-0 road record. They return to Globe Life Field, where their season batting averages were .274/.349/.495.
