Baltimore has played great baseball over the last 5 weeks or so and finds themselves in the hunt for a wild card spot. Toronto has also been good this season, but has lost five of six. Toronto is starting Alek Manoah, who has allowed nine runs over his last 16.1 innings. For Baltimore, Dean Kremer has allowed 10 runs over his last 16.1 innings pitched. Both of these pitchers have given up some runs in their last few outings and I like this game to go over. The over has been hitting at a great clip with these two teams playing in Toronto.
