Red Sox vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been playing very well over the last few months and they have been a very good team at home all season as they have a great record there. The Red Sox collapsed in the middle of the season and they have been a very bad team all year as they have put together multiple big losing streaks this year. They also have Hill starting in this game and he has been awful this season giving up a lot of runs in his starts while Bradish has been very good for the Orioles and has been pitching well since coming back from his injury in the middle of the season. The Red Sox are not in playoff contention this year but the Orioles surprisingly are and they will continue to push hard in this game to make a playoff appearance by capturing one of the few Wild Card spots. They have the better pitching matchup in this game and their bats have been very hot lately, they should have no problem winning this game at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
