This is an 8* SITUATIONAL SLUG-FEST on the OVER Guardians/Jays.

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but I'm finally anticipating a bit of a slug-fest here on Sunday, and will therefore recommend a play on the OVER.

Cleveland has seen the total go UNDER in four straight after yesterday's 5-0 loss here, but note that the Guardians have seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of their last 12 in trying to avenge a shutout road loss vs. an opponent.

Toronto has now seen the total go UNDER in five straight, but that's also significant to take note of, as the Jays have seen the total go OVER in four or their last five after playing to five or more straight UNDERS in a row.

Ben Lively gets the call for the Guardians, and Jose Berrios counters for the home side. These starters have been solid to this point, hence the really short number on the total for this contest.

But the overall situation, combined with the numbers/trends finally point to some runs being plated here in my opinion.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
