Albert Suarez (7-5 W-L, 3.49 ERA) vs. Kutter Crawford (8-13 W-L, 4.08 ERA)
Albert Suarez of the Orioles is coming off his season with a fairly respectable 3.49 Earned Run Average over 113.1 innings pitched. Considering that he has given up 37 walks and 11 home runs, this cannot be overlooked, as he has good control and a good strikeout ratio. Owing to Suarez’s capability of curbing the opponent’s scoring and his composure in tough circumstances, it is possible to say that these qualities can be useful against the Red Sox, who are not very consistent with the bat.
On the other hand, Boston’s Kutter Crawford puts himself in a difficult position with an 8-13 win-loss record to go with its 4.08 ERA. He strikes out more batters, as he also tends to K 149 batters over 161 innings, which shows good stuff that can be a threat to Orioles hitters. But he will tend to give the ball out of the park himself, and he has already given 29 homers this season, which could be a liability against a Baltimore lineup packed with power hitters.
