Outside of the mets and the many overs, not as much went our way. And of course the Padres would lose in the 10th after the comeback. Sums up Saturday. Soccer was great until the Uruguay game.

***1st Umpire OVER Baltimore/Oakland OVER 7.5 with Mark Ripperger who is 12-8 over
on almost 10 runs a game and a 2.4 SO/BB ratio with 64% strikes. His last 4 years have seen an avg of about 9 runs or more each year with the 3 years prior hitting 10-11 runs per game. He has been rated as a hitter friendly ump in the medium category of 4.25 just below a run rainmaker Andy Fletcher. This game should fly past the over like yesterday with more production from Balty as they are leading MLB in slug, and have hit 142 homers this year. Spence holds a 4.15 ERA , and 61:17 K:BB over 73 innings so i would expect O's elite offense to get some today, as they are avg 7 runs per game and over 10 hits last 10 games.
***2nd Umpire OVER Is Mets/Pirates Over 8.5 with Nick Mahrley who is 11-5 Over this year on over 10 runs, a 2.5 SO/BB Ratio and 63% strikes. In L10 games Mets are 7-2-1 over, while Ortiz has a 6.75 ERA against NL East foes in 6 games as a reliever this year. The Pirates have gone over 5 of the last 7 against the Mets.
***3rd Umpire Over is Toronto/Seattle OVER 7 with Jordan Baker who is avg 9.53 runs and is 9-7 over on 63% strikes and a 2.6 SO/BB Ratio. Last year he was 18-8 over on almost 11 runs so he's been an overs ump for years.
***4th Umpire Over is Nats/Cards Over 8.5 with Clnt Vondrak who's 11-5 Over this year on a staggering 11 runs per game. He also has a high run impact of 1.6 runs per game. The over has cashed 7 of last 9 for cardinals and 10 of last 15 with the nats, but last 2 games have gone well over (Combining for 33 runs over 2 games) with plenty of fireworks which should continue today with the way the offenses are hitting. Vondrak will surely aid the humid sticky day in DC which will also help the ball fly out like yesterday.
****1st Umpire UNDER is Atlanta/Philly UNDER 9 with Mike Estabrook whose games are 10-6 under on a paltry 7.6 runs per game thanks to his high almost 67% strike call and 4.05 SO/BB Ratio. He's rated the 3rd most pitcher friendly ump tid with Miller and Eddings. The braves are an under team this year hitting 7 of their last 9 (and 14 of last 18) and with Lopez pitching at 6-2 with a 1.8 ERA i expect he and the pen to be able to hold Philly at bay.
***2nd Umpire UNDER is Tampa/Texas UNDER 8 with Junior Valentine who is 11-5 UNDER on an abysmal 7.4 Runs per game with over 64% strikes and a near 3 SO/BB Ratio. Last year he was 18-15 under but 2022 was his avg year of 7.7 runs and 21-12 Under. 6 of the last 7 games btw these 2 have gone under. Tampa has struggled at the plate recently posting a season low .219 BA and slug only .316 last 7 games against rangers on the road. Rays rank 25th in slug and 22nd in OPS and scored 2 or less in 2 of last 3 games, meanwhile Littell has a 2.31 ERA in 11.2 innings against the rangers so i expect runs to be a premium on both sides.
