With the Pirates interleague series wrapping up last night, the Sox travel to Baltimore for an important divisional series with playoff implications, as the Orioles hold a two-and-a-half-game lead over the Red Sox in both the division and the wildcard. This will be the fourth series between the two teams, with the Orioles holding a 5-4 edge on the season.
Both teams seem to be finding their stride as the postseason inches closer. Currently, the Orioles are a game and half back of the second wild card spot. They’re 4-3 over the last seven games, after losing a series to the Rays, bouncing back against the Blue Jays, and then losing one random game against the Cubs.
