<p>Boston: Eduardo Rodriguez (0-0, 0.00 ERA)<br><br />
Baltimore: Kevin Gausman (0-2, 3.24 ERA)
</p>
<p>Eduardo Rodriguez goes for the Red Sox tonight and he will be making his season debut after a knee injury sidelined him for Spring Training. Last season as a rookie for Boston he went 10-6 with an ERA of 3.85. Rodriguez faced the Orioles twice last season in Baltimore where he went 11 innings and only gave up one run with 16 strikeouts. While the Red Sox won four of his last five starts overall last season they only won one of his last five road starts.
</p>
<p>Kevin Gausman gets the call for the Orioles and in his last start he gave up four earned runs in five innings in a 4-2 loss to the Houston Astros. The Orioles have lost two of his last three starts and in each of those losses he gave up four earned runs. In four of Gausman's seven starts on the season Baltimore has given him one run or less of support. The Orioles are 2-8 in Gausman's last 10 starts against a team with a winning record.

Boston Red Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction
The Orioles' offense looked better against the Indians, but they looked lost yesterday against Wright. Baltimore has been held to three or fewer runs in six of their last nine and have struggled all season against left handed pitching which they face on the mound tonight in starter Eduardo Rodriguez. Boston's offense has been on a roll scoring five or greater runs in eight of their last nine games and they got to Orioles' starter Kevin Gausman for five runs in five innings the last time they faced him. That was in Boston and Gausman does pitch better at home, but I'll back the visitor getting plus money in this spot.
