The Boston Red Sox have won 14 of the last 20 meetings with the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park following a 13-2 rout in the season opener. I predict another easy Boston win here in Game 2 of the series.

Boston left-hander Martin Perez is certainly no superstar and he owns a 5.00 ERA in nine career starts vs. Baltimore, but I think he'll be hyped up for his Red Sox debut. Anyhow, he should be able to outperform Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb who will make his first start since having season-ending surgery since April 2019.

What the Red Sox lack on the mound, they more than make for at the plate and I expect their bats to turn this into another one-sided affair.

8* play on Boston Red Sox -1.5.
