The Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox meet Sunday in MLB action at Fenway Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Baltimore Orioles have scored 18 runs in their first 2 games and 4 or more runs in both games. The Orioles have won 6 of their last 9 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Adley Rutschman leads the Orioles with 6 hits and 4 RBI, while Austin Hays and Anthony Santander have combined for 9 hits and 2 RBI. Cole Irvin gets the ball, and he was 9-13 with a 3.98 ERA and 128 strikeouts last season. Irvin is 0-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 5 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox have scored 18 runs in their first 2 games and 4 or more runs in both games. The Red Sox have won 6 of their last 7 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Rafael Devers leads the Red Sox with 5 hits and 1 RBI, while Adam Duvall and Justin Turner have combined for 9 hits and 7 RBI. Tanner Houck gets the ball, and he was 5-4 with a 3.15 ERA and 56 strikeouts last season. Houck is 2-1 with a 1.84 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.
The Orioles are 17-36 in their last 53 Sunday games. The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last 7 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 games on grass. The under is 14-6-1 in Orioles last 21 road games. The over is 5-2 in Red Sox last 7 overall. The Orioles are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings in Boston and 2-5 in the last 7 meetings.
Both offense are on fire out the gate, and neither pitching staff has been sharp. With that said, the Boston Red Sox have an edge after yesterdays walk off win, and you could think that would carry over with the quick turnaround. The juice is reasonable. Give me the Red Sox and the cheap price.
