Orioles vs Yankees Prediction

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good over the last week as they are starting to roll going into the playoffs. They have already clinched a playoff spot and have even locked up their division but they are still trying to play well and stay hot going into the playoffs. Judge is also looking to break some records in these last few games so the yankees will be giving a full effort here while the Orioles really have nothing left to play for with no more Wild Card spots available in the AL. They will use these final games as an opportunity to test out some younger players so the Yankees have an advantage with their lineup and pitching here. The Yankees are going to continue rolling over teams as they look to stay hot for the playoffs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
 
Orioles Yankees Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Sunday, October 2, 2022 (1:35 pm ET start time) is Yankees 5 Orioles 2.
