Boston, in nine games against the Orioles, has hit .327 as a team with an OPS of .947. The Sox have scored 66 runs in those games for an average of 7.3 runs per game.

The Orioles pitchers are 2-7 with an ERA of 6.84 on the year against Boston.

I could also point that Boston has won 13 of its last 15, has a major league best 30-19 road record and leads all big league teams in July in runs, homers and OBP, but why bother?
