The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles meet Monday in MLB action at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Boston Red Sox have scored 21 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 straight games. The Red Sox are 11-6 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Alex Verdugo leads the Red Sox with 29 hits and 11 RBI, while Justin Turner and Rafael Devers have combined for 47 hits and 29 RBI. Chris Sale gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 8.00 ERA and 30 strikeouts this season. Sale is 10-3 with a 3.21 ERA and 154 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.
The Baltimore Orioles have scored 9 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Orioles are 10-4 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Austin Hays leads the Orioles with 23 hits and 8 RBI, while Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle have combined for 42 hits and 35 RBI. Dean Kremer gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 6.16 ERA and 14 strikeouts this season. Kremer is 0-4 with a 7.76 ERA and 20 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox.
The Red Sox are 5-13 in their last 18 road games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The Orioles are 4-0 in their last 4 home games and 6-0 in their last 6 overall. The over is 6-1 in Red Sox last 7 overall. The under is 5-0 in Orioles last 5 overall. The Red Sox are 39-18 in the last 57 meetings in Baltimore and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The Baltimore Orioles and the plus money is hard to pass up given what they’ve done through 3 weeks. However, the Red Sox enter this series on fire offensively, and Chris Sale is coming off a game where he looked like his old self. Sale has also owned the Orioles throughout his career. Give me the Red Sox and the reasonable price.
