Red Sox vs Orioles Prediction
Game 1 Prediction: The Orioles continue to rack up the losses and have won just three games since May 3. Eflin doesn’t provide much confidence, considering he’s allowed 15 hits and 10 runs in his last 10.1 innings. Eflin has allowed 16 runs in 28.1 innings this season overall. With the way the Red Sox swung the bats yesterday, this should be BBQ chicken. Give me the Red Sox to take game 1.
Game 2 Prediction: I’m not excited to get behind Giolito, who has allowed 20 hits and 13 runs in his last 14.1 innings, but the Red Sox have still won his last two starts. Giolito has had some real stinkers throughout his career. Still, the Orioles are the most disappointing team in baseball and not a team I trust at all. Rough pitcher and all, I’m siding with the Red Sox to sweep the doubleheader on Saturday.
