Under red-hot with this ump in Baltimore
When umpire Chad Fairchild calls balls and strikes at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Under bettors are cashing in at a rapid pace. In the last 11 games the ump has worked in Baltimore, 10 have gone under the total.
Fairchild will be behind the dish in Maryland for Tuesday's meeting between the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles. The Under is also a scorching 7-1 in the last eight contests between the two clubs.
The game is currently a pick 'em with a total of eight.

Game of the Day: Mariners at Angels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels (-125, 8.5)
The Los Angeles Angels have wrapped up a playoff spot and attempt to take another step toward winning the American League West when they host the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. Los Angeles won the series opener to assure it will be part of the playoff field and its magic number stands at three to wrap up the division. Seattle has lost five of its last six games and has fallen two games behind the Kansas City Royals for the AL’s second wild card.
Albert Pujols delivered a three-run double as Los Angeles rolled to an 8-1 victory on Monday but his availability for Tuesday is unclear after he departed with a hamstring cramp. The victory was the 11th in 12 games for the Angels, who have established themselves as the best team in baseball over the past two months. Monday’s defeat represented a bad start for Seattle’s 11-game road trip as the Mariners can’t afford too many losses if they want to remain in the wild-card hunt.
