#959/960 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9.5 Runs - Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox, Monday at 7:10 PM ET - Baltimore and Boston have not scored as well in their most recent games but these are two of the top slugging teams this season in the majors and this match-up is in a hitter-friendly ballpark and it will be a mild evening at Fenway Park. The Orioles are starting Cade Povich here and he is off a strong start but that was against a White Sox team that is the worst team in the majors. The left-hander, prior to that outing, had gone 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in August and 0-3 with an 11.81 ERA in July. The Red Sox are starting Brayan Bello here. The Boston right-hander has struggled in 2 of his last 3 starts. Bello had one good outing versus the Blue Jays but allowed 9 earned runs on 14 hits in 10.1 innings in his other two recent starts. On the season he has a 4.92 ERA at home and opponents have hit .271 against him at Fenway Park. Baltimore's bullpen ERA is 17th in the majors and Boston's is all the way down at 26th. Yesterday's 7-2 loss for the Red Sox at home did fall short of double digits but, prior to that game, 13 of 21 Boston home games since the All Star break totaled at least 10 runs. 8 of the last 9 meetings between these teams at Fenway Park have totaled at least 10 runs and those 9 games averaged 14.5 runs each! Look for another slugfest here to open up this series on Monday. Per our computer math, high probability for a range of 11 to 12 runs here. Over is the call in this one early Monday evening.
