Free MLB Pick
Six of the last ten in this series have gone over the closing total line and there’s reason to think that will be the case again tonight. Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez has been sharp in his last four but was crushed for six runs in 3 2/3 innings in his last against the Orioles back in late June. For Baltimore Kevin Gausman gets the start and he’s been struggling a bit in his last three recording a 5.14 ERA. On the season he’s only 2-6 with a 4.43 ERA and a very poor 28.6 Q start ratio in 13 starts. At home he’s been better with a 55.6% QS and 2.75 ERA, so he could do okay here. However, the Red Sox are really lighting it up scoring six or more in seven of their last 10. The Orioles bats are also on fire with 33 runs scored in their last four games.
