Misc:
Baltimore has been beating the odds this season. They are +15.5 units on closing lines for home games while PIT is -2.5 units as visitors. The delta is a gaudy +18 units in favor of Baltimore.
As Vitty pointed out in the SOD video, some teams have checked out while others are still playing for wild card spot. PIT is the former and BAL is the latter. PIT may try some unusual things to try out new called up players or test new pitchers. Baltimore is not in that situation.
We're late to the show on this play so the line is pretty steep. Its climbed from -143 to -168 over the last 18 hours. Juicy but still a play for me.
