Red Sox vs. Orioles Pick
Moneyline Pick for Red Sox vs. Orioles
- Orioles -110 (4 units)
Baltimore had won two of three entering Friday while Boston had dropped five of their previous six games. There are growing reports that Alex Cora's seat is getting warmer by the day. Crochet has sputtered in the first month of the year. His numbers have been rough as he has hit a league-high four batters in addition to his ugly ERA and WHIP peripherals. Baltimore is no great shakes offensively but they have been a little better of late. Rogers has pitched well against the Red Sox in his career and was a solid addition to the Baltimore rotation. With the way the Red Sox are awful in all facets right now, you have to fade them here. Take Baltimore at home.
Over/Under Pick for Red Sox vs. Orioles
