Yankees at Orioles picks and predictionsPrediction
Yankees 4, Orioles 3
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Yankees (-200) to win Saturday.
BET ORIOLES +1.5 (+105).
Sugano has had a lot of success against the Yankees this season with a 3.12 ERA in his 2 starts. The Orioles have won 4 of their last 5 games and have split the season series so far. While they may not be expected to win against Rodon and the Yankees, plus-money on this wager is good value.
BET UNDER 9 (-110).
Both Rodon and Sugano have had success limiting runs this season.
The Yankees have hit the Under in back-to-back games and in 3 of their last 5. They have allowed 4 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 9 games.
The Orioles have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games, including each of their last 3. They have scored 4 or fewer runs in 9 of their last 10, while allowing 2 or fewer in 3 of their last 5.
