The Orioles are coming into this game playing in some lower scoring games recently, but their 2 games in this series have been a bit higher in score. They lost the 1st game 12-3 and won the 2nd game 5-3, both games seeing 8+ runs total. They are going up against a Red Sox team that has been playing in higher scoring games recently. They have seen at least 9 runs total in 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7 games. Nick Pivetta is starting for the Red Sox in this game and he is 5-10 with a 4.38 ERA this season. He has been pitching well recently as he has allowed just 3 earned runs total in his last 2 starts, but he has been very inconsistent all season and has not pitched well at home. He has allowed 13 earned runs in his last 4 home starts and he also gave up 3 earned runs against the Orioles in 5 innings earlier this season. The Orioles are pushing to win the division right now or at least keep their Wild Card spot so they are going to be pushing to win this game and will score runs with the way Pivetta has pitched. The Red Sox bullpen has not been great either so there will be plenty of opportunity to score after Pivetta leaves as well. Dean Kremer is starting for the Orioles in this game and he is 7-9 with a 4.27 ERA this season. He allowed no runs in his last start against a weaker offense in the Rays, but he allowed 7 earned runs in 2 straight starts prior to that. He has also struggled more on the road recently as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 road starts and has pitched 5 innings or less in 3 of those as well. The Red Sox are still in Wild Card contention so they will be pushing to win this game at home as well and Kremer has not been great in his recent road starts. The Orioles bullpen has also been very inconsistent this season so they will not be able to back Kremer up, especially if he does not pitch deep into the game. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
