Yankees vs Orioles Prediction

The Yankees are coming into this game as a massive favorite with the current betting odds. The Yankees have not been playing great in their recent games and they have already dropped the first game of this series to the Orioles. They are a much better team than the Orioles are and they have already shown their talent in a few games this season they just need to be more consistent. They will not lose 2 games to the Orioles in this series though and they will step up in this game to make sure they do not lose this game. Both of these pitchers are coming off of good starts in their last games but this is purely based on the pride and ego of the Yankee players here. Their lineup is much stronger and they had many chances to score runs and win that first game but they were not able to bring the runs in. They will not let that happen again here and the Yankees will come out of this game with the win. The best bet here is on the Yankees runline.

Notable Quotes

 
"Thought the last pitch was probably up. Thought there was a pitch maybe with Clarke earlier in the inning that we had him, another close one. It was more just making sure (catcher) Jose (Trevino) didn't get in any trouble out there." - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Orioles on Friday.
 
 
"It was pretty awesome to be a part of that tonight." Bryan baker on their win against the Yankees on Friday.
