Here's a look at the Orioles vs Red Sox live stream details and our prediction for the game. 

MLB Opening Day 2021: Orioles vs Red Sox preview

The Orioles will be hoping to continue their rebuilding process after finishing in fourth place in the AL East standings during the abbreviated 60-game season as they finished with a record of 25-35, their fourth straight losing season. Manager Brandon Hyde will be hoping for his team to get off to a positive start in a bid to make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The Orioles have some solid pieces like Anthony Santander, who had 11 home runs and 32 RBIs with a .261 batting average last season, while Ryan Mountcastle was solid in his debut foray with the big team, hitting for a .333 BA in 35 games. 

Meanwhile, the Red Sox slumped out of the gate and never recovered, finishing at the bottom in the AL East standings with a 24-36 overall record. Hence, Boston’s roster underwent some minor changes during the offseason. The Red Sox will have a much stronger veteran presence in their clubhouse this year with the additions of Kike Hernandez, Hunter Renfroe, and Marwin Gonzalez. Manager Alex Cora will be hoping that his return to Boston will begin with a win.
