MLB GAME OF THE MONTH! > > FLAWLESS FRIDAY!
(MLB) Boston vs. Baltimore, 08/20/2022 4:05 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Total: 8.50 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Red Sox/Orioles UNDER.

I am on the under in the Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday. These 2 teams opened this series with a very high scoring game, the Orioles winning it 15-10. The bullpens were not even bad in that game though as a majority of the runs were given up by the starters and the score was already 15-9 Orioles by the 5th inning. I think this is going to be a let down spot for both teams after a high scoring game like that, and I expect their bats to be a lot quieter in this game. I don't see either team getting that many hits or runs in this game and I expect both starters to be on their A-game here after that bad pitching performance by both teams yesterday. Michael Wacha (7-1, 2.44 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He doesn't really give up more than 2 runs in a start often, he just came back from an injury that kept him out all of July but he has already put up a performance of 7 scoreless innings in his 1st start back and that was against a good Yankees offense. He hasn't faced the Orioles lineup this year yet but I expect him to continue pitching well here like he has been all year, and I see him shutting down the Orioles here and stepping up when his team needs a good start badly. Kyle Bradish (1-4, 6.38 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked great in his rookie year here, but he has been getting a lot better and hasn't looked as bad in his starts lately. He was giving up a ton of runs in his starts when he 1st came into the league but he has been dialing that back a lot and hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a start in his previous 4 starts. He has looked really good since coming back from his injury and has actually been a better pitcher with much better numbers on this side of his injuries compared to before. He has seen the Red Sox lineup 2 times this season, 1 start where he gave up 6 runs and 1 start where he only gave up 2, but I expect him to be better here like he has been lately and I don't see the Red Sox touching him for many runs here. I expect both of these offenses to have a let down here after last night's game where they put up all those runs, and I expect the starters to step up and be much better for their teams here too. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Red Sox.
