Today’s best bet: Baltimore Orioles-BOSTON RED SOX (Under 10)
After a barrage of runs in Monday’s doubleheader, expect pitching to be the focus in this matchup. Boston’s Erik Bedard has a 2.70 ERA in three starts versus his former team and has not allowed more than three earned runs in eight of his past 10 starts. The Red Sox have never faced the Orioles’ tall right-hander, Rick VandenHurk, and that’s generally a pitching advantage.
