Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox Prediction

Heading into Saturday’s AL East matchup between Baltimore and Boston, I recommend taking the Red Sox to pick up the home win. After a rough outing vs the Houston Astros, starter Nathan Eovaldi bounced back with a quality start against Seattle. Look for a strong outing from Eovaldi to lead Boston to a bounce-back win.
