Yankees at Orioles picks and predictionsPredictionYankees 7 Orioles 6MoneylinePASS. I see this game as a dead heat. No clear advantage either way especially with the two starting pitchers. If you want to take +105 on the Yankees I won’t fault you but I’m going to pass.Run line/Against the spreadPASS. The Orioles could absolutely win this game by 2 runs but I don’t feel good about it. I’m not going to take the Yankees getting the 1 1/2 runs at -185 that’s just not a smart bet. I’m going to look to the total in this one.Over/UnderBET OVER 9.5 (-105). This game will be a shootout. When you look at Schmidt’s last 5 starts the total runs scored has been 9 or more. He has given up 3 earned runs or more in 3 of his last 4 starts. Wells has allowed at least two earned runs in his last 9 starts. These two teams are due for more runs after producing just one run combined on Friday night. |
