Baltimore at Boston

The Baltimore Orioles were a big surprise last season. The Birds have been regularly penciled in as 100+ game losers each of the past 3 full seasons, and they lost 110, 108, and 115 games. They finished last year at 83-79, and the optimism in Baltimore is growing, as is this team. They won the opener in Fenway, and they were the better team last year as well. Chris Sale will get the ball for Boston and he will be hard to trust. Sale has suffered multiple injuries. Sale is just 18-21 covering his last 39 starts, and that is over the last 4 years. At best he will be rusty, and at worst he is going to show a decline. I like Baltimore in this one.
