The Boston Red Sox (59-61) and Baltimore Orioles (62-57) meet Saturday at 4:05 p.m. ET in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox at Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Baltimore leads 6-4
The Red Sox lost a slugfest of a series opener, falling 15-10 Friday. Boston has now coughed up 23 runs over its last 2 games, and eyebrows are raised because the club has yielded runs in bunches too many times this season. Just recently, the Sox have had 2 such stretches: they allowed 7.3 runs per game from Aug. 3-9 and 10.4 RPG from July 16-27.
Baltimore had scored just 2.83 runs per game — while batting .179/.249/.267 (.516 OPS) over its 12 games before Friday’s 15-run outburst. The Orioles are a solid 16-11 since the All-Star break.
