The read

Jake Bennett is the separator. He enters off six scoreless innings against the Yankees with seven strikeouts and no walks, complementing a 3.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 3.02 road ERA. Baltimore has six right-handed hitters against the lefty, but Bennett has still limited righties to a .247 average and .656 OPS.

Boston also brings the hotter confirmed lineup: 43-for-151 (.285) over the last seven days, compared with Baltimore’s 36-for-175 (.206). The decisive situational edge is relief availability. Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Whitlock and Erik Miller are rested, while Baltimore used six relievers yesterday and Josh Walker has pitched three of the last four days.

Boston’s bullpen allowing 28 earned runs in 27.0 innings over the last five days keeps this at modest confidence. Brandon Young is coming off seven innings of one-run ball, and Coby Mayo and Christian Encarnacion-Strand own 1.144 and 1.069 OPS marks against lefties. Still, Bennett’s form and Boston’s better-positioned late-inning arms are enough for me to lay -122.
