The Rangers third baseman has been a force against the O’s, and after last night’s performance, has nine home runs and 18 RBIs in the last 10 games versus Baltimore.<\/p>\n
He may be able to keep that stroke of good luck up against starter Chris Tillman, who is slated to take the mound for Baltimore tonight. Beltre, is 3-for-8 with a homer against Tillman, who is unbeaten (5-0) on the road.<\/p>\n
Tillman has been somewhat inconsistent however, in his last four outings, following up a shutout on May 16, by surrendering a whopping eight runs in just over one inning in his next start against Pittsburgh.

\nThe right-hander followed that up with a six-run outing at Milwaukee where he worked 5 2\/3 innings, before limiting Houston to one run in 6 2\/3 innings his last time out.<\/p>\nHe is 3-1 with a 3.21 ERA in four career starts versus Texas.<\/p>\n
Texas will counter with veteran Colby Lewis, who is coming off a bad outing at Washington. The righty gave up five earned runs on nine hits over 5 2\/3 innings in that one.<\/p>\n
Lewis has not pitched well in Arlington, posting a 1-3 record and 7.52 ERA in four starts, and he is just 1-4 with a 5.97 ERA in five career starts against the O’s.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/h3>\n
1. Tillman is unbeaten (5-0) away from home despite surrendering at least six runs in half of his last six road starts.
\n2. Lewis is 1-4 with a 5.97 ERA in seven career appearances (five starts) against Baltimore.
\n3. Beltre, who is 5-for-8 with three homers and six RBIs in the series, is 3-for-8 with a homer against Tillman.<\/p>\nMatt\u2019s Free Prediction: Orioles<\/h3>\n
Since opening the 2014 season by winning nine of 13 at home, the Rangers have fallen, posting just four wins in their last 16 games in Arlington.<\/p>\n
Besides Beltre the rest of Rangers lineup is struggling, with a combined .266 team batting average. Mix in Lewis’ inconsistency and Tillman’s road streak, and I have to go with the O’s in this one.<\/p>\n
