Summary:

Baltimore is (4-3) against Boston head to head this season.  Orioles starter Chris Tillman has a .234 average against the Boston hitters whereas David Price has a .272 average against the Baltimore hitters.  Price has struggled pitching at home this season despite his (4-1) record as evidenced by his 5.61 ERA.  After struggling in the first few months Price has pitched to a 2.40 ERA in June.

I think this will be a more high scoring game than people may think by simply looking at the pitching match-up.  These are two top ten offensive teams that rank in the bottom half of the league in pitching.  This could be a shootout which would certainly favor Boston.
