Baltimore at Boston

The defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have apparently suffered somewhat of a hangover to open the season. They struggled against a weak White Sox team, and have not gotten on track at Fenway this season. Baltimore has surged forward after a dismal start, winning six of their last nine to get back to .500. Chris Tillman is off to a great start with an 0.84 ERA and held Boston in check on opening day, allowing 1 run in five innings. It continued his impressive work vs. the BoSox, as over his career he owns a 4-2 record with a nifty 2.67 ERA against them. John Lackey has looked like a pitcher who has lost something since coming over to Boston, and he allowed four home runs in his last start. The O's have been strong following an off day at 32-14 in their last 46, and get the call in this one. Go with Baltimore.
