Yankees vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 56-39 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB, fighting with the Orioles for 1st place. They have also looked better in their road games this year with their 31-20 road record. Meanwhile, the Orioles have also looked great in their games this season with their 57-36 record overall which leads the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB, and this is a big series for them since the Yankees are right on their tail. The Orioles are also 29-20 in their home games this season. As good as both of these teams have been this year, both have been struggling a lot lately. The Yankees are only 3-7 in their last 10 games while the Orioles are 4-6, and the Yankees have had some injuries to deal with too. They just lost a series against the Rays and now they are going to have Gil on the mound in this one. Gil has been a great starter for them this season with his 9-5 record and his 3.27 ERA, only giving up 1 earned run in his last start too, but the team has still lost 4 games in a row with him starting and is struggling to win games with their offense. The Yankees do have one of the best offenses in the MLB, but they have been slipping down the scale lately while the Orioles have remained consistent as one of the best offenses. The Orioles also have their own stud on the mound in this one with Rodriguez starting. He is 11-3 with a 3.52 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs at all. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start, but that has been on the higher end for him this year. He will be looking to bounce back with a better performance at home against a team like the Yankees who are right on their tail for the AL East, and the Orioles have had a lot of success with him too, winning 3 games in a row with Rodriguez starting. This is a good game for the Orioles to take advantage of a struggling Yankees team and extend their lead in the division. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
