Boston Red Sox
To say the least, it has been a very rocky start for the Red Sox in 2022. There are plenty of other words to describe it but we will leave it at that.
Simply put, this is a team that has not lived up to the expectations given to them and you have to wonder if they will ever figure it out.
Going into the season, I am not saying I had them as the best team in the sport but I sure as hell had them playing better than this. For them to only have 8 wins through the first 20 games is just not acceptable for the team or the city.
When you look at their schedule, a common theme you will find is a lot of their games have been very winnable and oftentimes they have had leads. Very rarely have they just been beaten badly from start to finish.
What you are seeing from this crew on a nightly basis is lack of execution in big spots. Whether it is failure to get the clutch hit, the inability to get batters out late in the game, not being able to throw strikes, etc., it all is costing them and eventually it will be hard to dig out of.
I know that we are not even in May yet but this does not look good for them at all. If they do not start to figure things out very very soon this season could be a total lost coss and 2019 all over again.
After dropping three games out four to the Blue Jays this week maybe what this team needs is a series to get right against one of the worst teams in baseball. If they cannot handle their business against the lowly O’s then there are some serious issues.
Boston will turn to Rich Hill in the opener with Baltimore. If he keeps on hanging his curveball over and over again it could be a very long night for the old left hander.
Baltimore Orioles
Unlike with the Red Sox, this terrible start to the season for the Orioles was epexted. Nobody, even the most optimisitc fans, thought this team would be all that good this season.
At this point, it is not even newsworthy that this team is irrelevant. As a baseball fan, it is just something you get used to expecting.
There really is no big mystery as to why the Birds are so bad and have been so bad for a while now. They simply do not have the players needed to even be competitive. Sure, the league is not all based on talent but a big part of it is and they do not have a ton of it.
The biggest weakneess in their game right now is the pitching and I do not see that being turned around anytime soon.
Whether it is their starts or their relivers, you never feel like any of them can contain any offense. It feels like they are just waiting to give up a 5 spot.
Even if their offense was elite they still would not be all that much better. When you have pitching as bad as they do it makes it virtually impossible to even be representive.
As expected, the O’s got swept in a 3 game set with the Yankees this week. In those games, they allowed New York to score 27 runs. Pretty hard to win doing that, ya think?
Even though the Red Sox have not been playing much better themseves, this series with them is not going to be any picnic. Being able to slow down that Boston offense is going to be one tall task for sure.

Boston Red Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles MLB Prediction:
I know there are no teams you can take for granted but this is the type of series that has to be a get-right one for the Red Sox.
For as flawed of a team as the Sox are, they are still a much better team and I feel they will put that on full display here.
I am really not sure how well Hill will do but I see the Boston offense being very productive on Friday. Between their starter and their pen, I do not like Baltimore’s chances of keeping them quiet.
Give me Boston on the run line here.
