Baltimore Orioles: 5 games in Boston with 5 bold predictions

BP #2:

Adley Rutschman gets his first MLB HR

Have we not been patient enough? To be honest, no, but all signs are pointing to an Adley Rutschman home run soon enough. Adley have gone 5-20 with a few walks and two runs scored. Although his exit velocity isn’t breaking any windows down, he is making solid contact and constantly working on his swing.

Saturday’s double-header seems like the perfect time for the Orioles future to get the big sticks out and launch one over the Green Monster, or that incredibly short porch in right. He collected three homers during his start of the year in the minors, so don’t expect him to start breaking records just yet. However, he is due. Make it happen this weekend!
