Baseball is Variance. The brutal reality is that both these teams are +\- 12 wins due to Variance and the Rangers 90 wins belied their offensive talent because if they get back half the 9th inning blown saves they got and they’re a 98 win team. Baseball is controlled more by external factors (the hitter and pitchers skill) than any professional sport. Elevation, relative humidity, whether its a day or night game, field dimensions, sunshine, clouds. Home plate officials, the production of the baseballs, the production of the bat. Just so many little things even down to the way the grass is pointing (where balls bounce when they hit said grass). Just so many damn variables that affect short-term results and skew long term projections

Orioles/Rangers - split the season series, each team taking 2 of 3 on the road. TEX outscored the O’s in runs overall. I predict a somewhat high scoring series, going the full 5 games, with Baltimore winning a close one. Looking for storylines, Jonah Heim was a former Orioles prospect drafted by the O’s. I’m sure there’s more storylines in this series, we’ll find out. But it should be entertaining. I still can’t believe my Orioles are a 1 seed…it feels weird…but feels great! Here’s to a fun series

TB Rays philosophy of complete reliance on analytics, platoons, matchups, bullpen games, using 10 relievers per game, constantly changing lineups is great for regular season but just doesn't translate to short playoff series success.
