00:03Boston and Baltimore also tonight, 635 Eastern.

00:06Pavetta versus Eflin.

00:08Favorite here for Baltimore.

00:09Actually opened up at a minus 152 price overnight.

00:11It's now showing live at a minus 136 price.

00:14So a little bit of a dip there for the Orioles,

00:16a total of eight and a half.

00:17Two good teams at the plate here.

00:18What gives tonight down in Baltimore?

00:21Guys, I am officially Captain Ahab

00:23when it comes to the Baltimore Orioles

00:25going down with this damn ship.

00:27Because the last two nights,

00:28the Orioles against the Nationals in the first five

00:31and lost that one when Trevor Rodgers got rocked.

00:34And last night, I bet the Orioles team total over

00:36to watch them in the seventh inning,

00:38not push a runner across with two outs in the eighth,

00:40two outs in the seventh,

00:42and then do it again in the eighth

00:43to not get that fifth run.

00:45So what are we doing here, guys?

00:46We are going to go down with the ship.

00:48We're gonna take the over eight and a half in this game.

00:51Why?

00:51Because the Orioles are top 10

00:54in batting average OPS and WRC plus at home.

00:56They've hit the second most home runs.

00:58They've scored the sixth most runs.

01:00Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta

01:01has been better on the road this year,

01:03but his last four starts a little rough,

01:04posting a 5-4-0 ERA.

01:06Hasn't faced the birds this year,

01:08so maybe a little bit of a mixed bag,

01:09but the Red Sox bullpen guy's been taxed in that series

01:12with the Rangers going to extra innings

01:14twice losing yesterday.

01:15So the Orioles will have at least eight,

01:18if not nine at-bats to get this thing going.

01:20Zach Leffin starts for Baltimore.

01:22Now, he's already faced the Red Sox this year

01:24in a Tampa Bay Rays uniform.

01:26Didn't go well for him in this start.

01:29Last year, made two starts against him.

01:30Didn't go well there either to an ERA near seven.

01:33The Red Sox on the road this year.

01:37Number two in runs, I'm sorry,

01:39number three in runs scored,

01:40number four in home runs hit,

01:41and top three in batting average OPS and WRC plus

01:45on the road this year.

01:47I'm going down with this ship.

01:48If we don't get nine runs tonight between these two teams,

01:50I may just call it quits.
