This is an 8* SITUATIONAL TOTAL on the UNDER Angels/Orioles.

This is a super interesting series, LA came out of the break and won the first game by a score of 6-4, and then yesterday's contest by a score of 10-3.

Note that Baltimore has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 in trying to avenge two or more straight home losses against an opponent.

For this WEdnesday game I'm going to focus on the starting pitching, and in our opinion, these starting pitchers will be the main focus and story line once it's all said and done.

These teams have been great at the plate of course this season, but they also sport some of the best pitching numbers as well, and we have two really decent starters going head to head here.

The Dodgers turn to Julio Urias, who is 7-5 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. He most recently scattered one hit over six scoreless innings to go along with seven strikeouts in a 4-0 victory over the Mets in his last outing.

And then Orioles counter with Dean Kremer, who is 10-4 with a 4.59 ERA and 100 to 17 strikeout to walk ratio. He's also coming off a really strong outing, going six innings and allowing two hits and one run to go along with eight strikeouts.

When it comes to starting pitching, there's no greater indicator to judge than "RECENT FORM," and each of these guys looks really LOCKED IN to us right now.

Because of that, we're taking the UNDER in this intriguing interleague matchup on Wednesay afternoon.

Good luck, NP
