Red Sox vs Orioles Prediction
The Red Sox probably should be getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and the better team. However, May hasn’t been great this season, despite two decent starts with Boston since leaving the Dodgers. The Orioles have played improved ball lately and Rogers has been dealing. Rogers has a 1.43 ERA and 0.81 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed three runs in his last 21 innings. Rogers is allowing a .167 batting average in 69.1 innings. You can do a lot worse than the Orioles and plus money.
