Gambling911.com has your Red Sox vs. Orioles series Daily Fantasy Baseball picks for the period April 24 thru 26. Watch for DFS911.com COMING SOON.
The Red Sox have been holding their own over the past 10 games, splitting wins and losses and staying two games above the .500 mark.
Baltimore, which split its series with the Red Sox during that time period, just lost four straight games and were swept in their series with Toronto.
Heading into this series, The Orioles were 7-3 vs. Boston in their last ten meetings while the away team has gone 7-3. Neither club has had a major advantage over the other in recent meetings.
Likewise, there is no edge given to the total in this series when we do not place consideration on specific pitching matchups.
DFS Boston –
Ray Flaherty - An otherwise fantastic daily fantasy pick for this series, if not for the fact Flaherty has just been placed on the DL for two weeks. Dangerous against Rick Porcello on Friday. He has hit 3-for-7 against Porcello with one homer. He’s gone 7-for-17 in the last seven days with 3 RBIs and one homerun. He’s hit more than half his at bats versus the Red Sox. Better still, Flaherty has gone 6-for-10 with five RBIs and a home run versus Justin Masterson, for whom he will face on Saturday.
Jimmy Paredes - He’s just what the doctor ordered for Baltimore. His ERA is over .300 during the last seven days and that trend should continue as he faces off against Porcello on Friday. He’s hit 3-of-4 though never scored a run over that period.
DFS Baltimore –
Wei-Yin Chen - Chen struck out three and walked five while allowing five unearned runs on three hits over 4.1 innings Monday against Boston. Things may not get much better for Chen against Boston as he has the second worst record against an opposing roster of all the starters on Friday. In total, Chen has permitted 43 hits on 139 at bats. This opens the door for some pretty good daily fantasy statistics going with Boston batters Saturday, or so it seems. Those who have hit well against Chen have been in a bit of a slump of late, David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia among them. Daniel Nava has hit especially well versus Chen but is in an even worse slump right now.
Dave Ortiz – Priced at $4.6K, Ortiz has only hit 4 of his 20 at bats in the past week. He’s managed 8-for-23 against Chen with 6 RBIs.
Hanley Ramirez – He’s priced at $5K and offers some value vs. Bud Norris on Sunday. He has hit half of his 12 at bats versus Norris with 3 RBIs and one homerun. He presents an option for one's fantasy roster on Sunday.
Allen Craig – He has gone 8-for-20 vs. Norris.
