Both coming off road series wins, the Red Sox (29-23) and Orioles (27-24) will meet at Camden Yards this evening to begin a four-game set. Third-year lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (4-1, 2.77 ERA) will make the start for Boston while fellow southpaw Wade Miley (1-3, 3.02 ERA) does the same for Baltimore. The O’s have been particularly good against left-handed starters this year and their righty-dominated batting lineup could have a field day against the overachieving E-Rod.
- The Red Sox are 7-2 SU and on the runline in their last 9 games on the road against the Orioles.
- The total has gone UNDER in 6 of the Red Sox' last 7 games.
- The Red Sox are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against teams with winning records.
That said, Miley has his work cut out for him as well. In his last appearance against the Red Sox, he lasted just 1.1 innings, giving up six earned runs on eight hits. He also has one of the highest pitches per inning metric in the American League and the BoSox are starting to swing some hot bats. Miley has been working well at home this season, giving up just two earned runs in four starts in Baltimore, but he could be in for a wake-up call against one of the hottest offenses in the majors.
Boston should come into the contest as a significant favorite after being assessed an Sportsbook moneyline of -117 and with the majority of the money coming in on the Sox, a bet against the public could be a profitable one considering how the O’s have been hitting against lefties.
