Pitching
Chris Sale will take the mound for the Boston Red Sox, while Dean Kremer will start for the Baltimore Orioles. Sale has had a rocky start to the season, with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 8.00. However, he has also recorded 30 strikeouts in just 18 innings, making him one of the most feared pitchers in the league. Kremer, on the other hand, has a record of 1-0 and an ERA of 6.16. While he has not been as dominant as Sale, he has shown flashes of brilliance and has the potential to cause problems for the Red Sox.
Batting
The Red Sox have a powerful lineup that includes Rafael Devers, who has hit 8 home runs and recorded 21 RBIs so far this season. Alex Verdugo is another key player, with a batting average of .322 and an OBP of .396. The Orioles, meanwhile, are led by Ryan Mountcastle, who has hit 6 home runs and recorded 20 RBIs this season. Austin Hays is another player to watch, with a batting average of .295 and an SLG of .551.
Injuries
Both teams have had to deal with injuries this season, with the Red Sox currently missing James Paxton, Zack Kelly, Chris Martin, Joely Rodriguez, and Reese McGuire. The Orioles have been without Mychal Givens, Hudson Haskin, Spenser Watkins, and Dillon Tate at various points this season.
Prediction:
While the Orioles have been impressive so far this season, with a record of 14-7, the Red Sox are the more talented team and have the potential to come out on top in this game. Sale may have struggled in his first few starts, but he is one of the best pitchers in the league and has the ability to dominate any lineup. With a powerful lineup that includes Devers, Verdugo, and Xander Bogaerts, the Red Sox have the potential to score runs in bunches and put the game out of reach early on.
The Orioles' bullpen has been a strength this season, but if the Red Sox can get to Kremer early on, they may be able to build up a lead that is too much for the Orioles to overcome. Ultimately, I predict that the Boston Red Sox will win this game, with Sale dominating on the mound and the Red Sox offense proving too much for the Orioles to handle.
Pick: Red Sox ML -115
