Team Previews
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles have had a rollercoaster season, currently holding a record of 73-71. Their offense has been decent, ranking 10th in runs scored with 676. However, their pitching staff has been a bit shaky, with an ERA of 4.17, ranking 18th in the league. Kutter Crawford has been inconsistent, and with a high WHIP of 1.07, he tends to put runners on base. This could be a significant factor in the over/under line as teams capitalize on his mistakes.
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox, on the other hand, have found a groove offensively. With a higher batting average of .250 and 710 runs scored, they are 4th in the league for runs. Albert Suarez has been solid this season with a 3.49 ERA, but he must be wary of the Orioles' power hitters. The Red Sox's bullpen also ranks 6th in saves, which could help control the game's pace and scoring opportunities.
