The Boston Red Sox are coming off three straight wins, but they have still cost backers more money than pretty much any other team in baseball this season. The Baltimore Orioles on the other hand have had a much better start to the season than anyone could've expected, and I like the price we get on the Orioles to end an ugly six-game skid with a win tonight.

Right-hander Alex Cobb (1-2, 3.76 ERA) will toe the slab for Baltimore. He had four solid starts under his belt before getting knocked around by Toronto last time out. In his season debut, Cobb limited Boston to one run through 5 1/3 innings of a 7-2 win.

Left-hander Martin Perez (2-3, 4.07 ERA) will take the ball for the Red Sox. Perez was tagged with three runs on two hits and three walks in three innings of a 6-3 loss to the Yankees last time out. In his season debut, Perez surrendered five runs (four earned) in five innings against Baltimore. Perez has an ugly 17-14 K/BB ratio over 24 1/3 innings on the season.

The Orioles own a solid .278 (6th) batting average against southpaws and I think they'll get to Perez early. That would be bad news for Boston as its bullpen ranks as one of the worst in baseball.

10* play on Baltimore Orioles.
