Orioles at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 6, Orioles 4
Moneyline
PASS.
Mostly on a fade-Wells lean, the Yankees are the preferred side here. Wells has had the good fortune of a .163 batting average on balls in play. Cortes and the Yankees at home — with some solid momentum — would be worth some partial-play action at -140 or better.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS. The better value is closer to the current pricing on the ML.

Over/Under
For the most part, we’re fading the pitching all around here, both starters and both bullpens, for a 2nd straight night. Wells has more problem areas of note. But Baltimore hits left-handers quite well (.769 OPS) and that’s a red X in the Cortes column.
Baltimore’s road offense has been solid this season. The Yankees went into this series with an .834 OPS over their last 14 games.
BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-110).
