The Mets are 20-25 on the road this year, while the Orioles are 19-23 at home. Baltimore continues to be last in the division and they are starting Sugano, who has allowed 13 earned runs and 19 hits over his last 9.2 innings. New York is starting Peterson, who has allowed 1, 5, and 5 earned runs in his last three starts. I think we are going to see another higher scoring game, so take the over here.
