I think I would take Houston and Cleveland under. They are one key injury away from hitting 90 wins instead of say 95, or 98 in Houston's case. 

[NewMarketSean]

Baltimore sounds just right.

[SBTarheel]

I lean OVER on the Orioles, I don't think Toronto is that much better than us, but a healthy Aaron Sanchez would go a long way for them,
