Final Orioles-Red Sox Prediction & Pick

This one should be a solid game between the two AL East rivals. Both teams will be sending out their top starter in this one. Still, both offenses are hitting well. Expect there to be plenty of runs in this game, especially as the bullpens begin to start coming into the game. The Orioles have the better bullpen though, and for as hot as the Red Sox have started, are the better team in this game.
