The Orioles have done well but have struggled for consistency. Their scoring has been dependent on Cedric Mullins, who has an OPS of 0.729, at an average of 0.262. Pitching, though, has been sub par for the Orioles, with most pitchers failing to deliver.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, have been dependent on Xander Bogaerts for scoring. He has an OPS of 0.836, 68 RBIs this season. He has been brilliant for the team, and his impact has been huge. However, other players have not delivered, and the team has suffered for that. The Sox pitchers have done well in recent games but have struggled for consistency.

Baltimore Orioles vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
Both teams are in the bottom half of the table and have nothing to gain from this game but will look to end the season on a high.
