Orioles at Yankees: Projected starting pitchers
LHP John Means vs. LHP J.A. Happ
Means tries to help the O’s avoid the four-game sweep and keep the Yankees within sight. He is a dismal 1-3 with a 6.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 17 strikeouts across 26 innings this season.
- Means turned in his first quality start of the season last time out on the road against the New York Mets, allowing just one run, three hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings in a win. He sliced his ERA from 8.10 to 6.58 as a result
- Means faced the Yankees back on July 30 in his first start of the season, and he was hammered for five runs, two hits, a walk and two hit batters with two strikeouts in just 2 1/3 innings.

The southpaw Happ checks in with a 1-2 record, 4.31 ERA and 1.21 WHIP while posting 25 strikeouts over his 31 1/3 innings in six starts.
- Happ opposed Means in that July 30 start, allowing four earned runs, four hits (including two homers) with two walks in just four innings in a no-decision.
- Like Means, Happ turned in a quality start last time out Sept. 8, but he suffered a hard-luck loss against his former team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Prediction
Yankees 6, Orioles 2
Moneyline (ML)
The Yankees (-200) needed 10 innings Saturday to push past the Orioles (+180) at The Stadium, winning 2-1; however, New York has outscored the Birds 18-2 in the first three games of this series. The Bronx Bombers are expected to win but don’t risk two times your potential return unless you plan to tie this in with several other games in a multi-team or multi-sport parlay.
New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on New York returns a profit of $5, while a $10 wager on Baltimore nets a profit of $18 if it wins.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The YANKEES (-1.5, +100) are a much more responsible play on the run line. And while they didn’t hit it Saturday in the walk-off win, they have hit the run line in three of the contests during their current four-game winning streak.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 9.5 (-110) is the best play on the board. The books are expecting a higher-scoring game, but Means and Happ each turned in decent outings last time they toed the slab.
The Under has hit in two of the first three in this series and is 7-2 in New York’s past nine, and 5-3 in Baltimore’s previous eight.
