Obviously typo on the date on my part. I've been busy for quite a time so i stopped making these threads because i couldn't put my best efforts on breaking down games or giving my opinions if someone asked.

O's +103 Large - Not a surprise to see odd makers inflated lines in this series due to the team records, one fighting for a playoff spot, and the overvaluation in the disparity of the line ups. Derek Holland is prone to the long ball playing in a small ball park like this won't help prevent those numbers of decreasing. Also you have to note this rookie is now past the 100 inning mark which showed lately to be very hittable and has been very inconsistent all season long.

The Orioles usually bring value at home due to a combination towards their horrible road play, overall team record, and the toughest division in all of baseball they play in. Guthrie has put forth 3 spectacular starts after a long tough dreadful stretch which only helps his confidence He seems to have gotten his mojo back. He definitely has the edge of starting pitchers match-up. As a surprise their bullpen has held their own in this series only giving up 2 hits, 0 runs in five innings of work.

Good analysis. Like the play. Best of luck Hunger.
