Baltimore made a rare push for the playoffs but came up short as it finished three games out of the final wild-card spot despite being over. The Red Sox went 78-84 in 2022 and were last in the division for the second time in three years. Boston cruised to a 13-2 home victory against Baltimore in their 2020 opener, while the Orioles started the following campaign with a 3-0 triumph in Beantown. American League East rivals begin the 2023 MLB season against each other on Thursday as the Boston Red Sox host the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day for the third time in four years.
