The Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox will meet on Tuesday night in the opening game of a three‑game American League East series at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.

Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview

The Baltimore Orioles enter Tuesday’s contest with a 28–32 overall record (4th in the American League East) and a 9–17 mark on the road. The Orioles offense has been one of the most productive units in Major League Baseball. Baltimore has compiled 275 runs scored (10th in MLB), 98 doubles, a .239 team batting average and 68 home runs which ranks 11th in Major League Baseball.

The Orioles arrive at tomorrow’s game in strong form. Baltimore has won five of the team’s last seven games played this season, including a dominant 11–2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays last week.

Baltimore will turn to right hander Shane Baz in this contest. In eleven starts made this season, Baz has compiled a 2–5 win‑loss record, a 4.48 ERA, a 1.43 WHIP and 57 strikeouts, while allowing 65 hits and 27 walks in 64.1 innings pitched. Baz will look to continue his efficient early season performances in tomorrow’s matchup with the Boston Red Sox.

The Baltimore Orioles offense features first baseman Pete Alonso and outfielder Taylor Ward. Pete Alonso leads the team with 11 home runs, 12 doubles, 23 walks, 36 RBIs and a .752 OPS. Taylor Ward enters this contest with a .248 batting average, 2 home runs, 15 doubles, 53 walks, 17 RBIs and an .742 OPS.

Boston Red Sox Betting Preview

The Boston Red Sox enter Tuesday night’s matchup with a 25–33 overall record (5th in the American League East) and a 9–19 mark at home. Boston arrives at this contest in good form. The Red Sox have won two consecutive games, including a convincing 9–1 win over the Cleveland Guardians three days ago.

Boston will start left hander Connelly Early in tomorrow’s game. In eleven starts made this season, Early has compiled a 5–2 record, a 2.95 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP and 57 strikeouts, while allowing 49 hits and 22 walks in 61 innings pitched.

Shifting our focus to the Boston offense, the Red Sox lineup features outfielder Wilyer Abreu and first baseman Willson Contreras. Abreu enters this contest with a .284 batting average, 6 home runs, 10 doubles, 24 RBIs and a .778 OPS. Wilson Contreras has compiled a team leading 11 home runs, a .286 batting average, 6 doubles, 23 walks, 33 RBIs and an .889 OPS.   

Why the Baltimore Orioles will win.

• Elite offense. Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward lead the Baltimore Orioles lineup.

• Starting pitching. Shane Baz has compiled a 4.48 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP in 11 starts made this season.

• Current form. Baltimore has won five of the team’s last seven games played.

Why the Boston Red Sox will win.

• Home field advantage. Fenway Park remains one of the most favorable offensive environments in Major League Baseball.

• Quality starting pitching. In eleven starts made this season, Connelly Early has compiled a 5–2 record, a 2.95 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP and 57 strikeouts in 61 innings pitched.

• Recent form. The Red Sox arrive at this contest on the heels of a two-game winning streak.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

In my opinion, this matchup favors the Boston Red Sox. Boston starting pitcher Connelly Early has amassed a 5-2 win-loss record, a 2.95 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP in 61 innings pitched, while Baltimore hurler Shane Baz has been more inconsistent on the mound which is concerning facing a Red Sox team playing at home. With that said, Boston is the side to be on in this one. I am backing the Boston Red Sox on the moneyline in this game.
