Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Red Sox here. I just don’t trust Chris Bassitt on the road this season and the Red Sox have been able to have some decent results at Fenway Park. and I also don’t trust the Orioles against left-handed pitching. I think Payton Tolle takes care of business here and gets the Red Sox the W.
