The Boston Red Sox Rick Porcello got off to a slow start but is back to his 2016 form and will take the hill tonight at Fenway when the Red Sox host the Baltimore Orioles. Porcello is 3-0 in his last 3 outings, with a 2.84 ERA and a WHIP of 1.16. The Red Sox are 10-2 in their last 12 home games, 4-0 in Porcello’s last 4 starts, and they are 4-1 in their last 5 games against the American League East. Buck Showalter will call on Jeremy Hellickson to tap the rubber. Hellickson has been struggling. The ex-Philly is 0-2 in his last 3 starts, with a 9.19 ERA, a 1.40 WHIP, and when not in the comforts of Camden Yards, the Orioles are a dismal 15-32 in their last 47 games.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON RED SOX
