Half of the last ten Nationals games have gone OVER the posted total. The last three UNDERs occurred with a posted total of 7.5 or less.
Four of the last five Baltimore games have gone OVER. Four of the previous five games went UNDER, however, all but one of those featured a total no lower than 9.5.
Not surprisingly, only two of the Giants last ten games went OVER the posted total.
Houston, on the other hand, has seen six of their last ten games go OVER the total. But the Astros are also one of the best teams in the league right now because they can score.
The Detroit Tigers could not. While a number of recent games have gone OVER, the UNDER went 7-0 in the Tigers first seven games of the season.
