An over trend has been strong as of late with Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios on the mound. As the over has hit in five out of his last six starts, with no less than thirteen runs total scored. There’s an elevated concern as well with both bullpens after yesterday’s extra inning matchup, and the Astros using several of their top arms. Take the over that may take three to four innings before the scoring gets going.
