Boston at Baltimore

Boston is 2-4 over the last six games, averaging 3 runs per contest. They are paying Rick Porcello (6.63 ERA) like an ace but he's far from it, giving up 5 homers and 22 hits in 19 innings. He got smacked around by these Orioles in his last start, an 8-3 loss allowing 12 hits and three walks in five innings (8 runs). The Orioles are 37-15 at home against a right-handed starter. The Red Sox are 1-4 against a right-handed starter and face righty Miguel Gonzalez (2-1, 2.55 ERA), who has excellent stuff. The Orioles are 21-9 in Gonzalez's last 30 home starts. Gonzalez won his second consecutive start Sunday, striking out five and walking four while limiting the Red Sox to 3 runs over five innings. The Orioles are 20-8 at home against a team with a winning record, plus 42-20 as home chalk. Play Baltimore!
