Over/Under
There is some Under pressure from most sectors of this pitching match-up. Neither offense has analytics to support run-scoring levels. Baltimore, for example, has a .364 batting average on balls in play in high-leverage situations.
The back ends of both bullpens are in decent shape.
TAKE THE UNDER 8.5 (-115).
