Orioles, Red Sox Extend Series After Rain Delay at Fenway

The Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox are engaged in a challenging series, with the Red Sox dominating the Orioles in a recent blowout game. The Orioles, struggling with a poor season performance and a pitching staff that has allowed significant runs, face Boston's promising rookie Hunter Dobbins, who has shown strong strikeout ability and consistency. The series opener was postponed due to rain and rescheduled as a doubleheader, with uncertainties around starting pitchers for both teams. While the Orioles are on pace for a disappointing season, the Red Sox hover around a .500 record, dealing more with off-field drama than on-field success. Professional bettors favor the Red Sox to win, reflecting their recent form and pitching matchup advantages. Despite Boston's bullpen being taxed after the blowout, the postponement has provided unexpected rest, potentially benefiting their pitching staff.
