Orioles vs Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings against the Orioles but have lost their last three meetings in Boston.
In this Orioles vs Red Sox Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -140 home favorites. The Red Sox have the pitching edge as Connelly Early goes up against a struggling Shane Baz and they also have the 4th-best bullpen in baseball to come after him. On top of that, the Orioles are weaker against lefties and I don’t trust them on the road, so give me the Red Sox to win this one at home.
