This is an 8* play UNDER Chicago-Baltimore

It was a rare home win for the Orioles on Tuesday, just the 2nd of the year. This series began with them giving up 12 runs in a loss Monday, but they responded with 9 of their own last night. With each team having "taken turns" with a big night at the plate, we'll call for the bats to cool off all around tonight. Baltimore hit four home runs last night, accounting for all but one of their total runs. Such a display of power is unlikely to happen two straight games. Now we're fully aware that Chicago starter Santana has already given up five home runs in two starts. But he pitched a lot better the second time around. Baltimore had been held to three runs or less in 5 of its 9 games previous to yesterday, though they will send out perhaps their best pitcher today. That sounds like a nice combo to halt a 17-8 Over mark to start the year. Armed with a wicked changeup, John Hess has a 1.72 ERA in six appearances this year, two of them starts. His last start, 10 days ago, saw him hold Boston to one run in five innings. Play UNDER Chicago-Baltimore
