This is a play on the BALTIMORE ORIOLES as part of our MLB Underdog Triple Play. Boston lost a tough one on opening day against Baltimore as it fell behind 10-4 and while it scored five runs in the eighth and ninth innings, it was not enough. The Red Sox are looking to rebound but are laying a massive number and one that looks like it should be the from the Cy Young days of Chris Sale and not the 34-yar old Sale who has barely pitched in three seasons. He was the opening day starter in 2018 and 2019 but has been sidelined with Tommy John surgery and a rib fracture and made only 11 starts the last three years. In the spring, his velocity has varied, while results have been shaky at best. Baltimore surprised most last season with a playoff push as the Orioles finished 83-79 and its +2,717 in profits were by far the most in all of baseball and are getting disrespected early again. This lineup is potent as it mashed out 15 hits on Thursday and should do damage again behind Dean Kremer who is part of a non-noteworthy yet high ceiling rotation. He put together a great season last year with a 3.23 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 21 starts and has seen a velocity increase with all pitches and has switched up his pitch mix. 10* (971) Baltimore Orioles
