Red Sox Roll Past Orioles Behind Bennett Gem, Cash Another Streak Bet

MLB

The Red Sox made it 15 straight at Fenway, dismantling the Orioles 6-3 in a game that played out exactly as the pitching matchup suggested. Jake Bennett was every bit the ace we projected, carving through Baltimore's lineup with surgical precision while Dean Kremer gave the Orioles exactly what his 4.15 ERA promised—trouble early and often.

Boston jumped ahead and never looked back, building the kind of cushion that turns a -144 line into easy money. The Red Sox offense did enough damage against Kremer to make Bennett's workmanlike performance more than sufficient, and the home crowd got another W to celebrate in what's becoming the American League's most dangerous home stand.

Our pick hit clean. We called the 1.80 ERA gap a "massive starting pitching advantage" and Bennett delivered, validating every decimal point of that projection. The Orioles' pedestrian road offense—4.29 runs per game—showed up right on schedule, unable to solve Boston's starter or generate the kind of crooked number needed to threaten this one late.

Fifteen wins in a row at home. A starter who made Baltimore hitters look overmatched. And another winning ticket for anyone who trusted the math over the price tag. Sometimes the obvious play is obvious for a reason.
