Orioles at Red Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Red Sox 7, Orioles 4
Money line
Boston is the lean but, with a high total, is worth more of a look on the Run Line. PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Boston has played better in the last month than its record would reflect. Kremer gives up a lot of fly balls and has been a bit home-run lucky. He’s vulnerable in this spot off the big pitch count.
TAKE BOSTON -1.5 (+155).
Over/Under
Both bullpens could use a day off. Look for the high-scoring series to continue.
BACK THE OVER 9.5 (+110).
