Boston (Price) and Baltimore (Tillman) will kick off a series tonight in a matchup between two of the best offenses in baseball who have been OVER machines this year, posting a combined 65-53-8 OVER/UNDER for the season.
- The Orioles are 9-1 in their last 10 games with Chris Tillman as their starter.
- Baltimore is 6-1 O/U in their last 7 road games and Boston is 11-3-1 O/U in their last 15 home games.
- The Orioles are 8-3 in their last 11 games as underdogs against the Red Sox.
Chris Tillman will go into Fenway looking to cool the Red Sox bats and has a good opportunity to do so. In his last 13 games as a starter against the Bo Sox, Tillman has posted a stellar 2.83 ERA and an 8-2 record.
Boston’s “Ace”, David Price, has looked like a pitcher on the decline this year, and got touched up for five runs in his lone start against the O’s this season. Price has also struggled at Fenway, posting a 5.61 ERA in 7 starts at home.
The numbers seem to hint that the Orioles are laying good value in this one as moneyline underdogs – but with an offense like the Red Sox have, that could change very quickly.
