The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles are off to a great start this season with one of the best records in the MLB and they have been a great road team too. Their pitching hasn't been great this season and it showed in their loss on Tuesday when they blew their big lead and ended up losing to the Yankees, but they also have one of the best offenses in the MLB and will be able to put up a ton of runs in this game. Schmidt is starting for the Yankees and he hasn't been good in his starts at all. Gibson is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't been great this season either but he has been improving in his starts lately and he has a really good offense to offer some run support too. The Yankees have been really hot lately but the Orioles have also been really hot and they have the edge in this game with their better pitching matchup and the hot offense they have been putting up so many runs with. The Orioles have also been making money all year as an underdog and were the same kind of team last season when priced like this. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
