Orioles vs. Red Sox Betting Pick, DFS Plays – April 18

Gambling911.com has your Orioles vs. Red Sox betting pick and DFS plays for Saturday afternoon April 18.

Best Bets: UNDER 8.5

Best DFS Picks: Clay Buchholz

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Chris Tillman (1-1, 7.71 ERA) vs. Red Sox RH Clay Buchholz (1-1, 7.84)

Betting Line: Red Sox -134, Orioles +124, Total: 8.5

Buckholz has only allowed 25 hits on 113 at bats versus the current Orioles roster, making him a decent option as a second pitcher for one’s daily fantasy roster.  He’s priced right at $6.8K.  Some might be wary of Buckolz and his inconsistencies but, coming off a disastrous loss, Gambling911.com believes he will be on his A Game today.  

Tillman has also performed well against the Red Sox and is also coming off a loss following a stellar opener.  He has a 7-3 record with a 2.69 ERA in 16 career starts against Boston.

Five of the last seven games in this series have gone UNDER the current total.

The Orioles 1B Steve Pearce is 0-for-12 in the last three games to drop to .143.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
