Orioles vs. Red Sox Prediction
Jake Flaherty pitches for Baltimore as Chris Sale starts for Boston. The Orioles look to keep the pace and close out the division strong. Another win against Boston would keep their four game lead on Tampa.

MLB BETTING PREDICTION:
Friday’s win at Fenway extended the Orioles current win streak to six. One more win is not too crazy of an expectation. With the consistent batting of the Orioles I imagine a struggling Chris Sale to have trouble. Game will be close, there has only been two times this season a score differential between these teams was greater than two. I am going with the better team with better odds. Baltimore is the pick.
SATURDAY MLB BETTING PREDICTION: BALTIMORE ORIOLES +124
