“Red Sox and Orioles Clash in Tension-Filled Showdown: Will the Total Be the Key to Victory?”

Boston is a team that I kind of dismissed last season. I expected them to be last in the division, but they actually played rather well and have made some moves this offseason to keep them competitive as they have to deal with the youth group that is the Orioles, the juggernaut of the Yankees, and the somehow always in it Rays. The Blue Jays also exist as well, and I am a fan of them, but I can’t say I think they will be a playoff team. Boston is off to a similar start to my results, with just a 1-4 record for the year. They opened the year with a win and since have lost four straight games. This is attributed to both poor hitting and to bad pitching performances. One of the ways they tried to address their pitching was by acquiring Garrett Crochet in the offseason. Crochet was a member of the White Sox last season, so he changed socks. Bad jokes aside, I’m unimpressed with his career. Don’t get me wrong, he made 32 starts last season, posted a 3.58 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. Those are good numbers, but I don’t know that it justifies the contract he just signed. I’d like to see him do it again. He went five innings in his first game, allowing five hits, two walks, and two runs in his first game. He has been decent against the Orioles in the past with just five hits allowed in 22 at-bats.
