Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/25/26

The Boston Red Sox are quickly making a case to be the worst team in baseball by the end of the season, as Friday night against the Baltimore Orioles was possibly their ugliest loss of the season. Poor hitting, poor pitching, and worst of all, inexcusable mental errors were the story of the night, which is the perfect trifecta of a dysfunctional team. After the Orioles recorded a four-run first inning, the game already felt like it was over, as Boston dropped its fourth-straight game against AL East opponents.

The Red Sox get Garrett Crochet on the mound on Saturday afternoon, which would normally be a cause for celebration for the fans as their ace takes the hill. However, the left-hander has unbelievably allowed 15 earned runs over his last two starts, which used to be a bad two-month stretch for Crochet.

The Orioles counter with Trevor Rogers, who normally would be the target of the bad pitcher narrative after giving up nine earned runs over his last two starts, but all of a sudden doesn’t look as bad in comparison to the guy standing across the diamond from him. The left-hander did have a good first three starts to the season, but has come back down to earth recently.

The Red Sox have been just plain ugly to watch, but it’s hard to imagine Crochet continuing his struggles, and their offense isn’t as bad as the product they are putting on the field. With everyone jumping on the Red Sox hate bandwagon, we’ll take them to bounce back and get a win here with their backs against the wall.
