Baltimore Orioles vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’ll go with the Orioles. Rodriguez is pitching well right now. Over his last three starts combined Rodriguez is 2-0 with just two earned runs in 16.2 innings total on nine hits and 11 walks. As for Bello, he’s 2-1 in his last trio with 10 earned runs in 15.2 innings of work.

In the Monday opener, the Orioles had a great offensive effort overall highlighted by two big innings. Baltimore would finish with 13 team hits and really only had one bad frame on the mound (three runs in the eighth). I like the O’s to keep it going Tuesday.
