This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHERS DUEL on the UNDER Jays/Orioles.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening.

Toronto has seen the total go OVER the number in three straight after yesterday's 9-6 loss, while Baltimore has also seen the total fly OVER the number in three straight.

Toronto though has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

We have two really good starters going head-to-head here. The Jays hand the ball to ace Alek Manoah (13-7, 2.48 ERA), while the home side counters with ace Dean Kremer (6-4, 3.22.)

Kremer enters on top form as well, as he's made four straight strong starts, going 2-0 with a 2.04 ERA in that span.

Manoah is 2-1 with a 3.55 ERA in six career games vs. the Orioles.

The overall situation, combined with the above listed O/U trend make the UNDER the correct call in this divisional matchup Wednesday.

Good luck, NP
