The American League East playoff race has baseball fans on the edge of their seats, and the Boston Red Sox-Baltimore Orioles matchup on tap for Tuesday is a must-win for both teams.
- The Red Sox are 5-1 SU in their last six games as underdogs against the Orioles.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of the Red Sox' last 11 games as underdog.
- The Orioles are 7-0 SU in their last seven games at home with Kevin Gausman as the starting pitcher.
Eduardo Rodriguez and Kevin Gausman will get the nod for the BoSox and O’s, respectively. Rodriguez (2-7, 4.98 ERA) is 1-3 with a 4.30 ERA in six career starts against the Orioles. The Venezuelan was ripped for four runs on eight hits by the New York Yankees in his last appearance on Thursday.
Gausman (8-10, 3.43) is 5-0 in his last six starts and held the opposition scoreless in four of his past five outings. The hurler has not served up a home run in any of his past five starts and is 3-3 with a 4.01 ERA in 13 career games against the Sox.
When the Orioles play in Maryland, the UNDER is extremely profitable. Baltimore has gone below the closing total in 12 of their last 14 home games.
