The preferred routing between [two California cities includes the waypoints OROSZ and COREZ].  The intersections OROSZ and COREZ present a huge confusion potential. Air traffic controllers are pronouncing the intersections 'Or-os' and 'Cor-os.' Over the radio; it's virtually impossible to distinguish between the two intersections. I believe that one of the two intersections should be renamed immediately to prevent confusion.
Corporate jet Captain reported a common route between two airports involves the waypoints OROSZ and COREZ which can sound similar over the radio. This can potentially create confusion for pilots.
