Orioles vs Red Sox prediction
The Orioles and the plus money is intriguing when you consider they’re the better team on paper. However, Irvin has been hittable throughout his career, and he allowed 7 hits and 4 runs in his first 5 innings this season. Crawford is off to a ridiculous start, allowing 5 hits and 1 earned run in his first 10.2 innings while striking out 12. The Red Sox have the edge on the mound. Give me the home team to get the job done in Boston.
