Baltimore got a much needed win on Friday night, but is still 4.5 games behind the Blue Jays for the last wild card spot. The Orioles need another win here and will turn to Jordan Lyles, who has allowed one earned run over his last 13.2 innings pitched. For the Red Sox, Michael Wacha has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Wacha has been the better pitcher in this matchup and I like the Red Sox to win.
