Here is a look at the key trends for each team heading into Friday night’s Game 2 matchup, followed by my in-depth analysis and MLB Free Picks.

• Orioles are 16-36 in their last 52 vs. American League West.
• Orioles are 11-44 in their last 55 road games.
• Rangers are 20-8 in their last 28 overall.
• Rangers are 24-10 in their last 34 home games.

The Starters: The Orioles will hand the ball to talented rookie right-hander Jacob Arieta (2-2, 4.96 ERA) while the Rangers counter with their own gifted rookie in southpaw hurler C.J. Wilson (7-4, 3.24 ERA).

Arrieta turned in one of the best outings of his young career the last time out, limiting the Detroit Tigers to just one earned run on seven hits in 6.1 stellar innigns of work on Tuesday. The 24-year-old struck out four and walked two in the no-decision.

Wilson was dominant in his last start against the Indians, allowing just one run on two hits with four strikeouts in six innings on Tuesday. Wilson has not allowed more than two earned runs in six straight starts and has compiled an impressive 6-1 mark with a 3.38 ERA in 64 innings in 10 starts at Rangers Ballpark.

Analysis: I’ve got to say MLB online betting enthusiasts, that I am very impressed with Baltimore’s Jacob Arieta. Sure the young hurler doesn’t have the most impressive record or ERA in the world, but what do you expect when he’s playing for the miserable Orioles?

Having said that, I think pro baseball betting buffs can see that the right pick here is to play the hard-hitting Texas Rangers and red-hot hurler C.J. Wilson.

The left-hander has tossed at least five innings in each of his last seven starts, while allowing three runs or less and no more than six hits in every single outing.

The Orioles have compiled an absolutely pitiful 11-44 record in their last 55 road games while the Rangers have gone a blistering 24-10 in their last 34 home games.

I say, play the Rangers and the Under for this contest as I don’t expect Wilson and Arieta to give up too many runs in this one.
