The Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles will meet up on Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. EST at Oriole Park in Baltimore.
The Rangers are sending Glenn Otto to the mound. Otto is 0-2 this season with a 9.37 ERA and I’m taking him to go Over 2.5 strikeouts (-165) at DraftKings Sportsbook.
While Otto’s numbers don’t look great for his four starts, his strikeout stats aren’t so bad. He had seven strikeouts in his first start in late August against the Houston Astros, four strikeouts in his second start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, five in his third against the Oakland A's and three in his fourth against the Astros again.
So he’s gone over three Ks in each of his four starts.

The Orioles are 10th in the league in strikeouts with 1,360 Ks, and 901 of those (66 percent) have come against right-handed pitchers like Otto. They’re also averaging 8.9 strikeouts per game.
Otto and the Orioles have yet to face each other, but I think when they do on Thursday, Otto will hit the Over 2.5 strikeouts at -165 against this K-prone Baltimore lineup.
