Result: Win
Total: 8.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
Two mediocre pitchers, two good offenses and a clear night at a hitter's park should spell over the total here.
Boston ranks sixth in runs scored per game while Baltimore is eighth. Both average nearly five runs per game.
Right-handers Rick Porcello and Miguel Gonzalez go at again after just facing each other five days ago. The Orioles won that game, 8-3, scoring eight runs on 12 hits in five-plus innings against Porcello. That raised Porcello's ERA to 6.63 after three starts this season.
Gonzalez gave up three runs and four walks in five innings this past Sunday versus Boston. He was lucky not to have surrendered more runs. Both bullpens have fatigue issues, too.
The over has cashed 13 of the last 18 times the Red Sox have faced a right-handed starter, while the over is 9-1-2 in Baltimore's past 12 home games against a righty.
