Orioles vs Red Sox (07.22 08:10, Fenway Park)

Starters: Orioles Kyle Bradish / Red Sox Ranger Suarez

On paper this one leans toward Boston. The Red Sox sit fifth in the league at .520 and are riding a 14-game winning streak, while Baltimore is eighth at .490 and just dropped its last game. The season series backs that up too, with Boston ahead 4-3 head to head, so there is not much of an upset angle hiding here.

On the mound, Suarez has actually been trending up velocity-wise over his last five outings, climbing from 90.7 to 91.6 mph, and Bradish has settled in around 94 mph after bouncing between 93 and 95. Both starters carry solid season ERAs (Suarez at 3.15, Bradish at 3.61), but their last-five-start FIPs tell an even better story — 1.81 over 26.1 innings for Suarez and 2.52 over 34 innings for Bradish, both notably sharper than their season numbers. Suarez in particular looks like he is pitching close to ace-level right now. Worth noting both starters are coming out of the All-Star break, so there is a bit of a layoff to factor in.

Bradish does have some recent history against this Boston lineup — back on April 27 he gave up three earned runs over five innings for a 5.40 ERA and took the loss, so there is precedent for him struggling here. Lineups for both sides are still unconfirmed and carried over from the previous game, so the actual batting orders could change. Off that projected lineup, Wilson Contreras has gone 1-for-2 with a homer against Bradish, though that is far too small a sample to lean on.

At the plate, Boston is hitting .250 on the season and .267 over the last five games, while Baltimore has gone from .235 to .244 — both sides warming up slightly but not by much. The bigger gap shows up in the bullpens: Boston's relievers have posted a sharp 0.87 ERA over their last 10.1 innings of work, compared to a more middling 3.06 for Baltimore's pen over 8.2 innings.

Taken together, the rankings, the streak, the season series, both starters' current form, and the bullpen edge all point toward Boston having the better setup coming into this one. Still, the unconfirmed lineups and Baltimore's modestly heating-up bats are worth keeping in mind as a variable.
