Baltimore is 8-1 in their last 9 Tuesday games and 12-4 in their last 16 game one’s of a series. The under is 8-0 in Baltimore’s last 8 road games. Washington is 20-44 in their last 64 games and 3-8 in their last 11 interleague home games. The over is 4-1 in Washington’s last 5 games. The under is 5-0 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Baltimore is 5.5 games out of a wild card spot and really needs to make a strong push to get back into contention. Washington has the worst record in baseball, but will be at home for this game. I like Baltimore to jump on the Nationals early and win by at least two runs behind a good outing from Kremer.
