The Baltimore Orioles (5-4) and Boston Red Sox (7-3) will kick start their three-game series for this MLB showdown on Tuesday, April 9 at 2:20 PM ET at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. The Orioles are destined for success with a moneyline at -140.

The Orioles are 2-3 in their last five games and are coming off a tough series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They lost two out of three, while currently on a two-game losing streak, in a 3-2 fashion to end game three.

Adley Rutschman has been doing well at the plate. He leads with a batting average of .303. Despite needing some work there, he also has an on-base percentage of .385 and a slugging percentage of .364.

With Corbin Burnes on the mound, the Orioles have the best chance possible. He has an ERA of 2.31 and a WHIP of 0.86 in just 11.2 innings pitched this season.

They are averaging .222 percent from the plate and allowing their opponents .224 in return, which does not offer much room for error. Their on-base percentage (.274) and slugging percentage (.387) are both appealing, but they need some work to be more successful.

The Red Sox have gone 1-4 in their last five games. Their most recent battle was a 12-2 blowout over the Los Angeles Angels, which marked their third game out of their previous five that scored at least five goals or more.

Tyler O’Neill leads them with five home runs and a batting average of .357. On top of that success, he averages an on-base percentage of .514 and an outstanding slugging percentage of .893.

Brayan Bello will take the mound here, as he has an ERA of 5.40 and a WHIP of 1.10. He has 10.0 innings under his belt, too. If he slips up some to start the game, this could cost them significantly.

Their batting average is solid here, at .248, and they allow .186 compared to their opponents. Their ability to get on base (.325) bodes well for them if they can continue to do this. In addition, they also have a slugging percentage of .402, which is close to being a great number.
