The set-up: For a number of different reasons, I think this number is a little low. The lowly Orioles hand the ball to John Means in this one, while the home side counters with Taylor Clarke.

The pitchers: Means (8-5, 2.95 ERA) has been fantastic this season, but I simply feel tha the rookie is in the wrong place at the wrong time here. This is a difficult interleague venue and I think the format will be an issue for Means tonight.

Clarke (2-3, 6.50) most recently was shelled for four runs off seven hits over three innings in a loss to the Brewers on Friday.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Baltimore has seen the total eclipse the posted number in 33 of 56 "night" games this season, while Arizona has seen the total go over the number in eight of its last 12 interleague contests. This number is a tad low.
