Your team is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher. For the Orioles tonight, their starter is the lanky lefty T.J. McFarland. It will be his second big league start. His first came against the Yankees last season and it was pretty awful.
Luckily, the Rangers are putting Nick Martinez out there. The Orioles have already batted him around once this season. I mean this offense hit Joe Saunders so hard last night that he isn't even on the team anymore. Martinez shouldn't be an issue. Yay, bullpens pitching five innings apiece.
