Yankees at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Orioles 4

Money line

Watkins brings a lot of gray area into the equation, but Taillon had trouble on the road last season (5.60 ERA) and has not exactly dominated this Baltimore batting order — ad it’s an order seeing him for the 3rd time already this season.

Still, the trigger point for a play on the O’s would be a tag north of +185. PASS … but circle back later in the day.

Run line/Against the spread

Some strength of schedule numbers — granular ones accounting for strength of batters faced and strength of pitchers faced — favor the Baltimore side here, and the Orioles bullpen is not bad. The back end of that bullpen is rested and has some arms that have given the Yankees trouble in the past.

The Yankee bullpen is quite good, but its 2.51 ERA is somewhat tamped down by some generous rates around the margins.

BACK BALTIMORE +1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

Fading Yankee pitching and making a play on Baltimore’s run production being held back too much by some dodgy in-play numbers like a .204 batting average on balls in play in high-leverage situations, TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (+105).
