Yankees vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been rolling all season with a really good offense and the best record in the AL East now that they have passed the Rays. The Yankees have been doing the opposite lately as they were in 3rd place in the AL East for a lot of the season but now find themselves in last and the Orioles will be looking to keep their lead at home here and extend it even more over the Rays. The Orioles have had a better offense than the Yankees have had all season but the Yankees have had better pitching. The Orioles can take advantage of this pitching matchup though as the Yankees are going with Severino and he has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts lately. It has become a common theme this season for him to give up so many runs in his starts and the Orioles have a really good offense that will take advantage of any players they get into scoring position. The Orioles also have Kremer on the mound here and he has been a bit up and down this season but he does lead the starters with 10 wins this year and has also been pitching really well lately, not giving up many runs in his last few starts. The Orioles have been really hot for a while now and have had a stronger offense than the Yankees all season but now that they have the better pitching matchup here too, the Orioles will definitely take advantage at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“A really big outing for him and us. It’s not been an easy road here since spring training and trying to get back. I think that’s hurt because he wants to be out there. He knows he was brought here to be a big, big part of this team and it took longer for him to get back than he would have liked and I think that ate at him a lot. But he’s here now and hopefully he continues to build momentum off this one.”- Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Mets in their game on Wednesday.


“Defense won us the game. Adam Frazier, diving play off Rizz. Santander with a great diving catch. We turned some double plays.” - Brandon Hyde after his team’s win against the Yankees in their game on Friday.
