6-2 (+366) overall YTD, 6-1 on totals.
BAL @ BOS over 10 -125
Wells and Chen pitched great a few days ago in their first hth meeting of the season, the final score landed 'under' the total rather easily, yet the total for this rematch is same as in game 1 (10.5 at most outs). Fishy for some, but not for me. It will be extremely hard for these two overrated pitchers to pitch as well as they did in game 1, against #3 and #4 OPS offenses in the majors, @ top 10 OPS ballpark in recent years, while being relieved by two average-at-best bullpens. The Orioles found their offensive niche in three games against Toronto, as they scored 24 runs (8 rpg) and the BoSox did the same against the Devil Rays, scoring 20 runs in three games (6.66 rpg). Boston has been impressive this year when facing a pitcher for the second time, as they scored 46 runs in 6 games (7.66 rpg) and this will be the second time that they'll see Chen this year. Baltimore saw only one pitcher twice this year and they've put 8 runs on the board against him. Boston scores 6.5 runs per game at home (only 5.5 away) and Baltimore scores 7.50 rpg on the road (only 4 rpg at home). This should be a long game for the pitching staffs.
