J.D. Martinez #28 of the Boston Red Sox looks to the sky after hitting a two run homer at the top of the fifth inning of the game against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park on June 9, 2018 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Floundering Orioles Have Been No Match for Red Sox

Fresh off a rare series loss, the Boston Red Sox will be looking to get back on track when they kick off a 10-game road trip against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Red Sox have flat-out dominated the Orioles lately, as Boston is 9-1 SU and ATS in its previous 10 meetings with Baltimore.

Sportsbook opened the Red Sox as -120 road favorites with a total of 9.

SHARK BITES
  • The Orioles are 1-8 SU in their last nine games against right-handed starting pitchers.
  • The Red Sox are 6-2 SU in their last eight games after a loss.
  • The Orioles are 0-6 SU in their last six games at home (avg losing margin: 3.0).

Steven Wright and Dylan Bundy are slated to get the start for the BoSox and Orioles, respectively. Wright (2-0, 1.57 ERA) made his first start of the season last week against the Detroit Tigers and dominated, allowing two hits and walking three in seven scoreless innings of work. The veteran knuckleballer began the campaign in the bullpen but has a good chance of securing a spot in the starting rotation with Drew Pomeranz on the disabled list. Wright is 2-2 with a 5.68 ERA in seven career matchups against the O’s.

Bundy (4-7, 4.04) posted seven scoreless innings against the New York Mets in his last outing. The 25-year-old is 2-1 with 25 strikeouts over 22 innings in his past three trips to the mound. Bundy will be making his third start of the season against Boston, as the hurler lost the first two while yielding a total of seven runs and 12 hits over 11.2 frames.

The Orioles have been a fantastic UNDER wager lately. In Baltimore’s last six contests, the UNDER is 5-1 with an average combined score of seven runs.
