Red Sox @ Orioles Analysis & Breakdown

The Orioles now sit 1 gamc back of the Yankees for top spot in the American League and top spot in the AL East.

The race in the AL East looks like it might come down to the absolute wire. The Orioles held top spot in the division till just 2 days ago when the Yankees snatched it back.

Baltimore’s gone 18-19 since July 1st this year and just split a short 2-game series with the Nationals. They were catching fire early this summer, going 34-21 from May to the end of June.

Now the Yankees have a 1 game lead on the Orioles for the division lead as the Red Sox fight for a Wild Card spot.

Boston sits 2 games back of the Royals for the last Wild Card sport with 7 games separating them and the Orioles. The Sox have lost 5 of the 6 matchups so far this year with the Orioles and will need that to change if they want to make the post-season. 

Rafael Devers o1.5 Total Bases (+130) via 1BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS 

Devers has a history of putting up big numbers at Camden Yards.

Rafael, not only is that the name of one of my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it’s also the name of my favorite Red Sox hitter.

Devers has been fantastic this season, he’s got a 0.299 batting average with 25 home runs and 72 RBI. He’s 27 years old, coming off his third All-Star appearance and he’s recorded a career best 0.585 SLG.

Rafael’s batting 0.294 against the Orioles this season, with 3 singles and a triple. In 3 games at Camden Yards this season,  he’s batting 0.455 and he’ managed a 0.290 career batting average when visiting Baltimore. 

Zack Efflin’s been good through 3 starts for the Orioles but tonight he gets his toughest test. He’s coming off a 7-strikeout win over his former team, he gave up no runs and allowed just 4 hits.

In the 2 games prior, Eflin surrendered a combined 15 hits to the Blue Jays and Guardians, gave up 5 runs and 2 home runs. Devers’ is batting 0.462 in his career against Efling, recording 6 hits with 5 of them being extra-base hits.

He’s recorded 2 home runs against Eflin and tonight’s hopefully more of the same.

Anthony Santander o1.5 Total Bases (+125) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS 

Anthony Santander is on a different planet this season. At 29 years old he’s recorded 80 RBI, 72 runs scored and he’s hit a career high 36 home runs; and he’s done it all with 41 games left to go. 

With all the talk surrounding Gunnar Henderson and this young Orioles lineup, it seems like somehow Santander’s 36 home runs this year has gone under the radar. Santy’s posted a batting average of just 0.242 this season but he’s got the 2nd highest SLG % of his career (0.535). 

He’s got 72 hits this season and 57 of those have been extra-base hits. It sounds insane when you say it like that. Santander’s got 19 doubles, and 2 triples to add to his 36 home runs; 14 of which have come against divisional opponents.

Anthony’s got just 1 home run against the Red Sox this season and he feels like he’s due for more. He’s batting 0.188 this month but he’s also recorded a 0.542 SLG. Santander’s got 9 hits this month, 7 have been for 2 or more bases, and 5 have hit out the park. 

It’s the heater of all heaters and he’s coming off a game in which he went hitless. Ride the Santy train with me and let’s get 1 more yak.
