The Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox are playing live on the MLB schedule on Wednesday and the AL East matchup starts at 1:35 pm ET from Fenway Park and has the O's looking to lock down the division as the playoffs get closer and the matchup has Wei-Yin Chen against Brandon Workman in the pitching duel.
The Orioles come into the game with a magic number getting smaller with every Yankees and Blue Jays loss and Baltimore has turned into one of the most impressive teams in baseball. The Orioles basically have the AL East wrapped up and now they have some bats getting hot with Adam Jones and they also snagged Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox and that could be the extra pop they need for the playoffs this year. The team has the most HRs in the majors and they have been stroking them lately.
Chris Tillman hasn't lost since June and he got a win in the game on Tuesday and now the team has this matchup before heading into a matchup with the Yanks back at home. The series starts up on Friday and that could put the Yankees away for good this season. The team comes in ranked in the top 10 in runs scored and batting average and they also are third in slugging and 17th in on base percentage.
The Orioles have been one of the best teams in baseball and the Red Sox have been one of the worst and now they will matchup late in the season. The orioles have 85 wins already and they are looking like a sleeper on contender for the World Series. The team has strong talent all over the field and while their pitching has not been as great as other teams, they have the offense to back it up. The Orioles can mash with the best of teams and their bats may be what carries them into October.
