Orioles / Bluejays over 8.5 (-115)
Orioles bats are hot, and Gausman has been suspect for his last few times out. I think we see some runs for both teams and the Orioles to keep it close.
GUARDIANS VS ROCKIES
(CLE) TRISTON MCKENZIE (RHP)

-VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE VS CLE (NAYLOR/RAMIREZ/ROSARIO): 7PA, .000 OPS
-PREV START VS CLEVELAND (2021): 6IP, 4H, 1ER, 2 WALKS, 4K
-HARD TO CAP, BECAUSE HE’S SO UP AND DOWN
-BETTER AT HOME THUS FAR: 3.22 ERA, .273 OBP, .678 OPS, .295 WOBA, 1.21 HR/9, 12.5 K%, 4.5 BB%, 1.07 WHIP, .243 BABIP

-L7 STARTING RHP VS GUARDIANS: 5.17 ERA, 1.41 WHIP
The Cleveland bullpen is a little taxed, I think the Rockies should be able to get to 6 today. Good weather, and we have seen McKenzie be very up and down.
