In this article, we will formulate an Orioles vs Red Sox Prediction for this MLB game on Monday, March 31st, at the Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Let’s take a look at a Baltimore Orioles vs Boston Red Sox pick.
Orioles Offense Has Been Inconsistent
The Orioles’ offense has been inconsistent since the start of the season, and they again looked terrible on Sunday. The Orioles scored only one run, and that led to the two-run defeat. It was a good pitching outing that was wasted because they couldn’t drive runners in. The Orioles had nine hits, but only one crossed the plate. Tomoyuki Sugano went four innings and gave up four hits and two runs. The bullpen then came in and locked down, but the offense couldn’t make up for it. On Saturday, the Orioles scored nine runs, and that made up for the bad pitching against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Cedric Mullens has hit two home runs and driven in six RBIs. Cade Povich will start for the Orioles. Last season, he finished with a 3-9 record and an ERA of 5.20. He also had a WHIP of 1.43. The Orioles need a really strong start from him here to end up on top.
Slow Start for the Red Sox
The Red Sox have had a slow start, winning only one of their first four games against the Texas Rangers. On Sunday, the Red Sox gave up only three runs, but the offense managed only two runs. The two runs came in the sixth inning, and that was the difference. Wilyer Abreu did have a strong game, finishing with three walks and an RBI. On Saturday, the Red Sox were competitive also, but they again couldn’t score enough runs, and four runs was the difference as they ended up losing again.
Wilyer Abreu has had a strong season, hitting two home runs and driving in six RBIs. The Red Sox’s Sean Newcomb will start, and he needs to be better than last season. With the Athletics, he had only seven appearances and finished the year with an ERA of 6.30.
Orioles vs Red Sox Prediction
The Orioles and Red Sox are both going to find offensive success here. Both offenses struggled on Sunday, but this game will be a lot different. I especially don’t like Newcomb, and the Orioles will put on a show here. Are we really about to trust Povich, though? Yeah, I am not all that interested in that either. Both pitchers are going to be chased early, and this game will end up over the total.
