(MLB) Toronto vs. Baltimore,
Total: 9.50 | -113.00 Under
Result: Win
Total: 9.50 | -113.00 Under
Result: Win
The set-up: This series features a couple of match-ups with relative "no names" going head to head on the mound and this is obviously one of them. I think runs will be plentiful this evening. The visitors go with Thomas Pannone, while the home side goes with Josh Rogers.
The pitchers: Pannone is so far 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA. He made three appearances out of the bullpen for his major league debut last week, but he's been recalled now to make his very first start. Clearly the sky is the limit for Pannone, but I think he'll take a small step back in this difficult venue.
Ramirez was supposed to get the start here, but Baltimore has made a late Tuesday morning change to Josh Rogers, who makes his MLB season debut today. The sky may be the limit for Rogers, but I think he'll struggle against this difficult and determined opponent.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Toronto has seen the total go "over" the number in seven of its last ten night road games in which the line in the contest is set between -150 and +150. I'm banking on these starting pitchers getting chased early and for this total going "over" sooner, rather than later.
