Red Sox vs. Orioles MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m taking the under 9.5 at Bovada.lv. In the last five meetings between these two teams, the under cashed four times. In Boston’s last 10 games dating back to last season, the under is 8-2. That includes hitting in all four of the Red Sox’ four games in Texas, as they combined for just 11 runs in those four contests.
