Orioles vs Red Sox Prediction
Boston was able to get a great pitching performance from Crochet on Wednesday night for the shutout win, and they will go for the series win here. The Red Sox haven’t been a great offensive team so far this year, and they will be starting Houck, who allowed four earned runs to the Rangers in his first outing. Baltimore has scored two runs or fewer in three of their last five games, and they will turn to Morton, who allowed four earned runs to the Blue Jays in just 3.1 innings in his first outing. I know Houck struggled last time out, but we have to fade Morton after how we saw him pitch in Toronto. Take the Red Sox here.
