The Baltimore Orioles (79-73) and Boston Red Sox (72-80) swing into a 4-game series Monday at 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Red Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Baltimore leads 8-7
Baltimore made a late-summer surge but is just 8-12 over its last 20 games. The Orioles have clocked a mere .654 OPS over those last 20 games.
The Red Sox are coming off being swept in a 4-game series at the New York Yankees, and they have lost 5 in a row overall. A Boston club that banged out a .795 OPS from Sept. 10-20 has slashed a .203/.285/.360 (.644 OPS) over the losing skid.

Orioles at Red Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Red Sox 6, Orioles 4
Money line
Boston batters own an aggregate .839 OPS against Lyles, and the Red Sox have the more rested bullpen heading into this series.
Keep a watch on Boston: it is worth some action at -130 or better, but PASS until that price.
Run line/Against the spread
Similar to the calculation above, and in play due to a likable high-total Over (which implies a potentially looser game), you should track the tag here: Boston -1.5 is worth a play at +145 or better.
PASS unless such a price becomes available.
Over/Under
Boston has had much success against Lyles. A double-digit breeze out to left-center field is in the forecast.
BACK THE OVER 9.5 (-115).
