Red Sox vs Orioles Prediction

The Red Sox are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Orioles and have won their last four visits in Baltimore.

In this Red Sox vs Orioles Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -130 road favorites. I like the Red Sox to keep rolling over a struggling Orioles team that is has lost five straight and has failed to score in back-to-back games. Tolle has been excellent on the road with a 2.59 ERA for the Red Sox and he has been the better pitching option than the shaky Kyle Bradish. On top of that, the Red Sox have the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball, so I like them to win this game in a very good price. Take the Red Sox in this one.
