The Red Sox are 3 games out of first place and just 2 games behind the Orioles, who have lost 10 of their last 13 games. I think he all knew this would happen to Baltimore. They were overachieving but I did think their pitching would be their downfall, but lately it's been their hitting. The Orioles have scored 20 runs the last eight games while hitting .175 with runners in scoring position. That's kind of shocking with the lineup they have.
Tonight Lester is on the hill. He has pissed me off for the most part this year. I don't know what he will do tonight. He is 14-0 with 2.47 ERA against Baltimore in his career. Yet, he is 1-1 8.10 ERA in his last 3 starts, so like I said I don't know what he is going to do.
Jason Hammel is pitching for the Orioles he is 6-2 with a 3.06 ERA. He has been a nice surprise average almost a K an inning. He is 1-2 with a 5.34 ERA against the Red Sox in his career and he got beat up a bit last time out giving up four homers in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Red Sox are the better team.
Red Sox win 7-5
