Texas Rangers @ Baltimore Orioles – 4:07pm ET

Tony Battalio

Texas will be looking to keep the momentum rolling on the second game of this series against Baltimore on Sunday afternoon. Texas was able to pick up a victory in the opening game of the series on Saturday afternoon and they will be looking to put Baltimore on the brink of elimination before heading home for game three and game four with another victory here on Sunday and what should be another close and competitive contest. Texas looks fantastic in the opening game of the series on Sunday night, and they will be looking to replicate that performance here in this one as they look for their second consecutive victory of the series against the Baltimore Orioles on the road in Baltimore.

Baltimore will be looking to bounce back after their series opening loss to Texas on Saturday afternoon as they cannot afford to fall behind two games before heading on the road to Texas for a pair of games in which another loss would eliminate them from the postseason. They were fantastic throughout the regular season, and it seems as if the time off could end up costing them a playoff series victory. It awaits to be seen how they will bounce back here in game number two on Sunday afternoon against the Texas Rangers at home. I expect Baltimore to be a lot more productive at the plate in this game on Sunday afternoon afternoon and I look for them to grab a much-needed victory in this game as well.

Minnesota Twins @ Houston Astros – 8:03pm ET

Tony Battalio

Minnesota will be looking to bounce back after losing the opening game of this series to the defending World Series champions on Saturday at home. If they fail to win here on Sunday night it would put them on the brink of elimination heading back home for game three and four. They will have to figure out a way to grab a victory over the Houston Astros here in this game on Sunday night if they want to stay alive in this series and continue their magical playoff run all the way to the American League Championship Series. Minnesota will have to be a lot more productive at the plate in this game, and Pablo Lopez will have to shut down the Astros here on Sunday night as well.

The defending World Series champions will be looking to pick up their second consecutive victory in this opening round series here on Sunday night at home. If they can manage to grab another victory over Minnesota, it would put them in perfect position to sweep Minnesota in game three back on the road and allow them to advance to get another American League Championship Series. Houston has looked fantastic throughout the last few months of the season and they have plenty of momentum coming into this game on Sunday night as well. I expect them to use that momentum and pick up a victory in this game over Minnesota.
