This is an 8* AL TOP TOTAL on the OVER Red Sox/Orioles.

Boston has seen the total go UNDER in three straight now after yestreday's series opening 3-1 victory. Previous to that it fell 1-0 at Toronto.

The Red Sox though have seen the total go OVER the number in nine of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

The Orioles have seen the total go OVER in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which they were held to one run or less.

Both starting pitchers have been decent to open the season. We're expecting some regression here though.

Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 3.32 ERA) gets the nod for Boston, and he'll be opposed by Spenser Watkins (0-0, 2.77).

Eovaldi has given up seven home runs os far over 21 2/3's innings of work this season.

Watkins is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in three career games against Boston.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
