Orioles at Red Sox 9/26/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Two teams separated by a mere 60.5 games will battle on Wednesday night, when the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox play the second game of a doubleheader from Fenway Park. On Monday, SP Dylan Bundy allowed four runs and lasted just three innings during a 6-2 defeat. Renato Nunez collected three hits for the Orioles, who lost for the 111th time this season.

Baltimore skipper Buck Showalter has yet to name a starting pitcher for this matchup. Showalter has very few quality options on a staff that ranks last in the majors in team ERA and batting average allowed. The Boston Red Sox have won a major league best 106 games and have wrapped up home field advantage throughout the playoffs. On Monday, Mookie Betts blasted his 32nd home runs and scored twice to spark the Boston offense. SP Nathan Eovaldi struck out ten batters over five innings of one-run ball to improve his record to 6-7 on the year.

Twenty-nine year old southpaw Chris Sale (12-4 2.00 ERA) will make his final start of the season for the Red Sox. Boston has won each of Sale’s last ten starts and he has allowed just three runs total over that stretch.
