Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox Prediction

Heading into today’s AL East matchup between the Red Sox and Orioles, look for Boston to pick up the win, and cover the runline. In Kyle Bradish’s last 2 starts, Baltimore lost by 5 and 4 runs, respectively. Given that the Orioles are unlikely to provide much run support against Garrett Whitlock, I like Boston -1.5 runs.
