The Red Sox arrive at Oriole Park at 7:15 PM EDT, streaming on MLB.TV, and are ready to prove that a 3.66 ERA still smells better than Baltimore’s 4.16. Jake Bennett (LHP #64) will try to keep the Sox’s .250 batting average on a ball that the Orioles are hitting at .235, while Brandon Young (RHP #63) hopes to make the Sox’s outfield feel the sting of a day‑to‑day absence of Ceddanne Rafaela and Adley Rutschman. Odds have Boston favored at -125 with a projected total of 8.5 runs – so the money is leaning toward the Sox, but the ballpark still has more drama than fireworks.
If you’re hoping for fireworks, you’ll need a sparkler; this game is more about “sparks” than explosions. Make your pick or join the banter on StreakChat.
