Predictions
- Game One Winner- Red Sox
- Game Two Winner- Orioles
- Game Three Winner- Red Sox
I’m going with the hot hand with my picks here, expecting another strong performance to begin young E-Rod’s career and another good start from Miley. Porcello looked good in his last start, tossing 8 strong innings against the Twins, but he has been homer-prone this season and that’s not good when facing a powerful Orioles team. Still, it’s reasonable to hope for a series win here, especially with the Red Sox coming off an invigorating series sweep.
