Total of the Week MLB
(MLB) Orioles (BAL) vs. Dodgers (LAD),
Total: 8.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Orioles/Dodgers OVER.

1) Yesterday's game stayed under the total but these are two of the top hitting teams in the majors and I am expecting this pitching match-up to lead the way to an easy over here.

2) Though the bullpen of the Dodgers is solid, the Orioles bullpen has had issues at times this season and barely hung on to last night's game. For me these starting pitchers combined with two powerful lineups is what is leading to maximum value here with this total at 8.5 runs.

3) The Orioles are starting Burnes and Dodgers starting Buehler in this one! Though Burnes has great numbers on the season he has fallen off a cliff here in August. Burnes has an 8.71 ERA and opponents batting average of .322 in August. Buehler also has slipped up of late plus he is having an overall tough season. Buehler has a 7.36 ERA in his two starts this month since coming back. On the year opponents are hitting .308 against him.

T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Dodgers.
