#969/970 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 8.5 Runs - Baltimore Orioles at New York Mets, Tuesday at 7:10 PM ET - The Mets Jose Quintana is 0-2 with a 6.89 ERA in his 3 starts this month and also has had some command issues with 10 walks in 15.2 innings. The Orioles Dean Kremer is 1-2 with a 5.87 ERA this month and also has had problems with command of his pitches with 9 walks in 15.1 innings. We have a low total to work with here when you consider that the Orioles consistently average 5 runs per game including in their 17 road games since the All-Star break. Also, getting each team to just 4 runs here means the game would get to at least 9 runs for the final score. The Orioles, prior to yesterday's 4-3 loss, had scored at least 4 runs in 19 of 24 games! The Mets have scored at least 4 runs in 6 of 7 games so far on this 9-game homestand. In terms of relief pitching ERA this season, the Mets rank 17th and the Orioles rank 21st this season and Seranthony Dominguez gave up the home run in the bottom of the 9th yesterday that cost Baltimore the game. The Mets have trended under recently but, prior to this series getting underway yesterday, they faced bad teams like Miami and Oakland. Also, prior to that they were at Seattle and facing the Mariners and visits to Seattle are known for being tough on the hitters! We get line value here because of that recent Mets' trending and we are well aware of what the Orioles can do at the plate in the right match-up and this is it today! The Orioles have a .449 slugging percentage against lefties to rank #1 in the majors and they will give the southpaw Quintana problems in this one. At the same time, Kremer's recent struggles on the mound for Baltimore continue here. Per our computer math, high probability for a range of 10 to 11 runs here. Over is the call in this one Tuesday evening.
