The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles meet Tuesday in MLB action at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Boston Red Sox have scored 20 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 8 straight games. The Red Sox are 11-7 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Alex Verdugo leads the Red Sox with 30 hits and 12 RBI, while Justin Turner and Rafael Devers have combined for 49 hits and 31 RBI. Corey Kluber gets the ball, and he is 0-4 with a 8.50 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season. Kluber is 6-5 with a 4.26 ERA and 98 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.
The Baltimore Orioles have scored 12 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 10 of their last 13 games. The Orioles are 11-4 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Austin Hays leads the Orioles with 25 hits and 9 RBI, while Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle have combined for 45 hits and 35 RBI. Kyle Bradish gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 8 strikeouts this season. Bradish is 0-3 with a 7.54 ERA and 16 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox.
The Red Sox are 5-13 in their last 18 road games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The Orioles are 12-3 in their last 15 Tuesday games and 6-0 in their last 6 overall. The over is 6-1 in Red Sox last 7 overall. The under is 5-0 in Orioles last 5 overall. The Red Sox are 39-18 in the last 57 meetings in Baltimore and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
Corey Kluber has been a mess this season, and I’m worried about him on the road against an Orioles’ offense that continues to tear the cover off the ball. We’re still feeling out Kyle Bradish as he makes his 26th career start, but backing Kluber on the road against this offense isn’t much of an option. Give me the hot O’s and the reasonable price.
