Boston has dominated the season long matchup against the Orioles this year, having won 10 out of 12 games. Overall, the Red Sox have outscored the O’s 65-34.
This will be the second time the Red Sox have come to town since the All-Star break. The previous series was plagued by rain and each team won a game before the finale was postponed. That game will be made up this Saturday as part of a doubleheader.
There was some bad blood between these two teams after that last matchup. Boston manager Alex Cora was none too happy about how the last game and how the series overall was handled with the rain, making his thoughts well-known with the media.
