In this Orioles vs Red Sox Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -150 home favorites. The Red Sox have the pitching edge as Payton Tolle with his sub-1.00 WHIP goes up against Chris Bassitt with his 1.50+ WHIP. Bassitt has been terrible on the road and the Orioles have been weaker against lefties. On top of that, the Red Sox have the 4th-best bullpen in baseball so I expect them to bounce back and win this one at home.
