I’m on the over of 8.5 in this Orioles @ Mets game for these reasons:

- Both Starting pitchers (Trevor Rogers for Baltimore & David Peterson for NY Mets) have high walk rates, doesn’t strikeout bats at a high rate, and each average 4 or more hits per game their last 3 games played. Orioles have been hitting well and only the Mets bats have been able to be relied upon, while their pitching staff is not to be bet on to keep things from getting out of hand.

- 5 of the Mets last 6 home games have gone over the total (Not including the Marlins series)

-7 of the Mets last 11 away games for the Orioles have gone over the total.

- Orioles bat .261 against Lefties this season

Official Play: Over 8.5
