KEY GAME INFORMATION
BOSTON: 2016: 93-69, first place
Manager: John Farrell (fifth season)
Who's new? LHP Chris Sale, RHP Tyler Thornburg, 1B Mitch Moreland, OF Steve Selsky
Who's gone? DH David Ortiz, 3B Travis Shaw, 3B Yoan Moncada, 2B Aaron Hill, C Ryan Hanigan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Junichi Tazawa, RHP Koji Uehara, RHP Brad Ziegler
Projected lineup: 2B Dustin Pedroia (.318, 15 HR, 74 RBI), LF Andrew Benintendi (.295, 2, 14 in 34 games), SS Xander Bogaerts (.294, 21, 89, 13 SB), RH Mookie Betts (.318, 31, 113), DH Hanley Ramirez (.286, 30, 111) CF Jackie Bradley Jr. (.267, 26, 87), 3B Pablo Sandoval (.000, 0, 0 in three games), 1B Mitch Moreland (.233, 22, 60 with Rangers), C Sandy Leon (.310, 7, 35) or Christian Vazquez (.224, 1, 12)
Rotation: LH Chris Sale (17-10, 3.34 ERA), RH Rick Porcello (22-4, 3.15), RH Steven Wright (13-6, 3.33), LH Drew Pomeranz (3-5, 4.59), LH Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7, 4.71)
Key relievers: RH Craig Kimbrel (2-6, 3.40, 31/33 SV), RH Tyler Thornburg (8-5, 2.15 with Brewers), RH Joe Kelly (4-0, 5.18), LH Robbie Ross (3-2, 3.25), RH Matt Barnes (4-3, 4.05), LH Fernando Abad (1-6, 3.66 with Twins and Red Sox), RH Heath Hembree (4-1, 2.65)
Hot spots: Third base. Is this the year Sandoval is known more for his ability to play baseball than his physique? Sandoval, who missed all but three games last year because of a shoulder injury, showed up to spring training looking slimmer than years past. His production at the plate and agility on the field followed suit in the Grapefruit League. The Red Sox have shown they aren't afraid to take playing time away from the Panda if he doesn't deserve it. Josh Rutledge, a competent fielder and perhaps a better hitter against left-handers, is around just in case.
Outlook: Boston scored more runs than any team in baseball last year, and this year's club has the pitching to avoid another early playoff exit. Newcomer Sale is the best left-hander in the AL, an ace in his prime. Porcello is the reigning Cy Young Award winner. David Price, when he returns from an elbow injury, gives the Red Sox arguably the best 1-2-3 punch in the league. Ortiz retired, but he'll leave a bigger hole in the hearts of fans than in the lineup. Benintendi is a candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award, while Betts played like an MVP at age 23. A bounceback season from Sandoval would give opposing pitchers no chance to breathe. Triple-A depth shouldn't be enough of an issue to prevent the Sox from challenging the Indians for the pennant.
BALTIMORE: 2016: 89-73, second place
Manager: Buck Showalter (eighth season)
Who's new? C Welington Castillo, OF Seth Smith, OF Craig Gentry, OF Michael Bourn, LHP Vidal Nuno
Who's gone? C Matt Wieters, OF Nolan Reimold, INF/OF Steve Pearce, RHP Vance Worley, RHP Odrisamer Despaigne, LHP T.J. McFarland, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Tommy Hunter
Projected lineup: LF Hyun-Soo Kim (.302, 6 HR, 22 RBI), CF Adam Jones (.265, 29, 83), 3B Manny Machado (.294, 37, 96), 1B Chris Davis (.221, 38, 84), DH Mark Trumbo (.256, 47, 108), RF Seth Smith (.249, 16, 63 with Mariners), 2B Jonathan Schoop (.267, 25, 82), C Welington Castillo (.264, 14, 68 with Diamondbacks), SS J.J. Hardy (.269, 9, 48)
Rotation: RH Kevin Gausman (9-12, 3.61 ERA), RH Dylan Bundy (10-6, 4.02), LH Wade Miley (9-13, 5.37), RH Ubaldo Jimenez (8-12, 5.44), RH Mike Wright (3-4, 5.79) or Chris Lee (5-0, 2.98 at Double-A) or Gabriel Ynoa (1-0, 6.38 with Mets) or Tyler Wilson (4-6, 5.27) or Jayson Aquino (0-0, 0.00 in three games)
Key relievers: LH Zach Britton (2-1, 0.54, 47/47 SV), RH Brad Brach (10-4, 2.05), RH Darren O'Day (3-1, 3.77), RH Mychal Givens (8-2, 3.13), LH Donnie Hart (0-0, 0.49), LH Vidal Nuno (1-1, 3.53 with Mariners)
Hot spots: Fifth starter and bullpen. A shoulder injury in camp left 16-game winner Chris Tillman in doubt for opening day. That opened the floodgates for a pair of competitions that are somewhat intertwined, since the Orioles value long relievers more than perhaps any team. Wright and Wilson, who shuttled between the bullpen and the rotation last season, are the top candidates for the final rotation job. Aquino is a candidate to start or relieve. Logan Verrett, Richard Bleier and Zach Stewart are all potential long men. Keep an eye on Lee, a 24-year-old lefty who missed most of last season with a lat strain.
Outlook: Boston landed the biggest trade chip of the winter and Baltimore couldn't (or didn't try to) acquire the number-one starter it badly needed. When the dust settled, the Orioles look like another 80-something win team that will lean on its organizational depth to overachieve. Machado is already one of the five best players in the game, and at 24 his prime years might still lie ahead. Only three teams in history have had three 40-home run hitters, but Machado, Davis and Trumbo are capable of making it four. Expect some high-scoring games: the Orioles' outfield earned low marks on defense last year, while their starting rotation is iffy at best. Bridging the gap to closer Britton will be key.
PREVIEW
Orioles go for sweep of Red Sox with Gausman on mound
 

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles need help from Kevin Gausman with No. 1 starter Chris Tillman (shoulder bursitis) on the disabled list, and the right-hander is hoping to improve when he takes the mound for the series finale with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

Gausman gave up eight runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings when the Orioles lost to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. He is now 1-1 with a 7.23 ERA but hopes for better as Baltimore (12-4) tries to sweep the weekend series and win its fifth straight game.

The right-hander (3-4, 4.34 ERA in his career vs. Boston) also has struggled with control issues, something unusual for him. He has struck out 13 but walked 12, which has hurt him at times.

Boston counters with Eduardo Rodriguez (0-1, 5.23). The Red Sox acquired him from the Orioles in exchange for Andrew Miller as Baltimore was trying to bolster its bullpen down the stretch in 2014 en route to a division title.

Rodriguez (2-3, 4.04 ERA in his career against Baltimore) has given up seven runs and nine hits in 10 1/3 innings in his two starts. Add in a scoreless relief performance and the left-hander has struck out 15 with seven walks so far this season.

The Red Sox are really hoping that they can get second baseman Dustin Pedroia back into the lineup for the series finale on Sunday.

He missed the Saturday game after getting hurt late in the series opener on Friday when Manny Machado slid into him at second base. Pedroia injured his left knee and ankle on the play and needed to be helped off the field. He said Saturday that he'll be checked out Sunday.

"I don't know, we'll just play it by ear," Pedroia said. "My knee's sore, and then my ankle's a little sore, but I'll be all right."

The Orioles have gotten a better combination of starting pitching and power so far this season. They are winning close, low-scoring games, something that did not always happen in 2016.

Baltimore scored just six runs in the first two games of this series but held Boston to two while both starters went at least six innings.

What could be interesting for the Orioles -- now with the top record in the major leagues, but not so fun for the other teams -- is when their offense really opens up.

Baltimore is still scoring a lot of runs with power -- three of the four in Saturday's win came on homers (a two-run blast from Trey Mancini and a solo shot from Jonathan Schoop, back-to-back) -- but it has not really taken off yet.

The team has just a .243 average overall this year. By comparison, the Red Sox are at .272. But Baltimore scored all four runs in one inning and kept Boston at bay the rest of the night.

"That's the beauty of this team," Mancini said. "We have a couple of slow offensive games, then all of a sudden, in one inning, the tides can turn. It seems to be contagious, too, which is great to be a part of."

Boston, meanwhile, went just 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position in the first two games, something that caused a lot of problems. The Red Sox have had their chances but keep missing on them.

They will hope to do better on Sunday.
