Baltimore Orioles at Texas Rangers (2026-08-08). Kyle Bradish vs Jacob deGrom at Globe Life Field.
Starters — Bradish has a 3.79 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 121 innings, with 8.7 K/9, 4.02 BB/9, and 0.97 HR/9. His last three starts were mixed: 3.0 IP, 2 ER, 3 K, 2 BB; 4.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 K, 1 BB; and 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 K, 1 BB. The trend is listed up, but the recent game log still shows some inconsistency in workload and command. DeGrom carries a 3.96 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 113.2 innings, with a strong 10.69 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, and 1.27 HR/9. His last three starts were 3.1 IP, 5 ER, 3 K, 5 BB; 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 K, 0 BB; and 4.2 IP, 5 ER, 6 K, 2 BB. The trend is also up, though his recent form has been volatile, with elite strikeout ability offset by two shaky outings in the last three.
Teams — Baltimore enters with a .709 OPS and 517 runs scored, compared with Texas at a .718 OPS and 479 runs. The Orioles have been the slightly lower-average lineup at .234, while the Rangers are hitting .244. On the pitching side, Baltimore owns a 4.18 team ERA and 1.34 WHIP, while Texas sits at a 4.26 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Recent form is fairly neutral to modestly soft on both sides, with the Orioles 5-5 over their last 10 and the Rangers 4-6. Baltimore has produced more total runs despite the slightly lower OPS, while Texas has been a bit cleaner in traffic prevention because of the better team WHIP.
