The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees are off to a good start this season with their 29-20 record overall, they aren't anywhere near as dominant as they were in the division last season but they are starting to play a lot better now and moving up the standings. The Orioles have also improved a lot from last season as they were on the rise last year but have now been surging out of the gate this season since they are now in 2nd place in their division, which is also the toughest division in the MLB. As hot as the Orioles have been, the Yankees have been just as hot lately and they have a better pitching matchup in this game. The Orioles are starting Bradish here and he has been good but he is also in his 2nd ever season as an MLB starter and has still been streaky in his starts this year. The Yankees are starting Cole in this game though and he has not only been a reliable starter in the MLB for years, but he is also off to a great start himself as he has been pitching really well for them. The Orioles have been good but will struggle to score runs in this game and their pitching really hasn't been great this season so the Yankees have the edge in this game at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
