The Boston Red Sox are a hot team that seems to be getting hotter. They have now won 14 of the last 16 meetings (Game 1 of today's DH pending). Really, it hasn't even been close as the Red Sox are outscoring the Orioles by a 6.5 to 3.4 margin in the 16 games. The Orioles will go with rookie right-hander Yefry Ramirez (1-4, 5.66), and he sure does not look like a candidate to slow down Boston's super-charged bats. Baltimore is looking at future prospects that can help the club, and many are rookie call-ups. Baltimore's starters and pen just can't handle the quality and depth of this Red Sox team. I think Boston has a clear path in this one, so take Boston in Game 2.
