Rookie pitcher Cade Povich is their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Cole Irvin is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 6-3 with a 3.03 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HR, and 1 BB with 8 Ks on 9 hits through 5.2 IP against the Atlanta Braves.

The Yankees are entering this series off a loss and lost their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 51-24 record overall and have a home record of 23-10. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Thursday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Wednesday. The Yankees won the 1st game of this series on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 2nd in the MLB with a .766 OPS. Gerrit Cole is their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Luis Gil is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 9-1 with a 2.03 ERA this season. His team won their last 9 straight games this season with him making an appearance.

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have looked really good in their games this season with their 47-25 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East and right behind the Yankees. They have also looked great in their road games with their 22-11 road record. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked great in their games this season with their 51-24 record overall which has them leading the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their home games with their 23-10 home record. The Yankees took the 1st game of this series and even though they lost to the Red Sox in a series over the weekend, the Orioles are a much bigger threat in the division right now so they can make amends with this series. The Orioles struggled to bring runners in when they played in that 1st game of this series and that is going to be a problem here with the way the Yankees have been pitching. The Yankees have a solid bullpen that is one of the best in the MLB, but they also have Gil going in this game and he has been having a great season. He is 9-1 with a 2.03 ERA and he is coming off another start in which he gave up just 1 earned run. The team has also had a ton of success with him this season, winning 9 games in a row with him starting and winning a majority of the games he started in. Irvin is on the mound for the Orioles and he hasn't been bad this season, but he is 6-3 with a 3.03 ERA and has been giving up more runs lately. He gave up 3 earned runs in his last start which will be a big issue here with the way the Yankees are keeping the Orioles off the board, and even the team has lost 2 of the last 3 games he started in. The Yankees have the better pitching matchup here and they will use this series to pull more in the AL East. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
