The Red Sox are entering this series off a win and won their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 7-4 record overall and have a home record of 0-1. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Thursday and they have the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Wednesday. Their offense ranks 16th in the MLB with a .695 OPS. Kutter Crawford is their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Garrett Whitlock is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA this season. His team lost their last game this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 4 BB with 4 strikeouts on 4 hits through 4.1 innings played against the Los Angeles Angels.

The current betting odds have the Red Sox listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Red Sox have looked good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the American League. This is their 1st series at home this season and they are already 0-1 in their home games, but they will be looking to bounce back from that 1st home loss and play their best here. Meanwhile, the Orioles have looked good in their games this season with their 6-4 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the AL. They won the series opener here and they are 2-2 in their road games this season. The Orioles have Rodriguez on the mound here and he has been a good starter for them in his 2 starts this season, but he has given up more runs in his first 2 starts than Whitlock has. Whitlock has been improving for the Red Sox lately and he will be looking to have a great season as a starter this year. The Red Sox have also been better than the Orioles offensively to start the season and in a game like this where both starters have been solid to start the year, the Red Sox will have the edge with their hotter offense right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game.
