These two teams will meet for a brief one game series to play a game that was postponed in June. Baltimore is right in the middle of the AL Wild Card race, while Chicago is starting to look towards next season. Baltimore will go with Spenser Watkins, who has allowed eight runs over his last 14.1 innings. For the Cubs, Adrian Sampson has allowed nine runs over his last 14 innings of work. I like the over in this game with neither pitcher being that sharp lately.
