Boston at Baltimore

The Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox have a crucial and meaningful four game set opening in Baltimore tonight. The Orioles have gone back and forth with the Yankees, fighting for the AL East crown. Boston has remained a distant third in the AL East and trails the Yankees by 7.5 games and Baltimore by seven. Baltimore is taking care of business at home, winning five of their last seven, and could push Boston out of the race by winning three of four here. They made a big move to bolster their rotation by picking up Zach Eflin before the trade deadline, and he has delivered three wins in his first three starts, with the O's winning by a combined score of 22-10. Boston has not looked good for nearly a month, as they are 10-14 in their last 24 games. I think Baltimore has the right pitcher and circumstances to get off to a good start in this critical series for both teams. Make the play on Baltimore as a Max Play.
