Orioles vs. Red Sox Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Thursday, June 4

The Orioles came into this season with a certain amount of promise, welcoming in home-run machine 1B Pete Alonso from the New York Mets. They likely hoped for a better start to the year as they come into today’s game 29-33, good for fourth in the AL East and 8.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the divisional lead. 

The Red Sox got off to a disastrous 2-8 start this season, prompting fans to beg Red Sox owner John Henry to sell the team. They have since stabilized a little bit but still sit at 26-34 and occupy last place in the AL East.

Boston has been bitten by the injury bug, with star OF Roman Anthony heading to the IL on May 7 with a right wrist sprain. After a recent setback, it seems they should plan on not having Anthony in the lineup for the foreseeable future.
