This is an 8* TOP AL TOTAL on the UNDER Orioles/Rays.

Dating back to the first half of the MLB season, Baltimore had seen the total go OVER in eight straight before it's 5-0 win over the Royals yesterday.

I think tonight's contest also sets up as more of a lower-scoring DUEL as well.

Tampa just went 2-1 in Atlanta to open up the second half and all
three games flew well OVER the number.

Ryan Yarbrough is 6-3 with a 4.30 ERA this season and he beat the Blue Jays in his last outing, allowing two runs over five innings.

The Orioles hand the ball to Spenser Watkins (1-0, 1.74), who is coming off a no-decision to the White Sox on Sunday, giving up one run over five innings. Over two starts spanning 10.1 innings of work, Watkins has allowed two combined runs.

Finally, note that the Rays have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last nine after playing to three or more OVERS in a row.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
