Both teams are coming in hot, with the Baltimore Orioles coming off a four-game sweep of the White Sox in Chicago and the Boston Red Sox 5-2 in their last seven games.

I think the Orioles have a big edge in this game, though.

Baltimore left-hander Cole Irvin (4-2, 3.15 ERA) is 2-1 with a 2.96 ERA in his home starts and 2-1 with a 1.42 ERA in his day starts this season. The Red Sox are 6-9 when facing a left-handed starter.

As for Red Sox's starter right-hander Cooper Criswell (2-1, 2.86 ERA), he has cooled off somewhat following a hot start and has a 4.50 ERA through his last three starts.

3* PLAY ON THE ORIOLES.
