BETTING TRENDS
NY Yankees are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against Baltimore.
NY Yankees are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games on the road.
Baltimore are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Baltimore's last 10 games against NY Yankees.
Prediction
The Yankees continue to dominate the Orioles and have one of the best offenses in the league while are allowing the least amount of runs per game as well. The Orioles are one of the worst offenses in the league and have scored an average of 1.5 runs per game in their last 6 games. Watkins got pounded in his last start so the bombers shouldn't have any issues to beat them again.
PICK: Yankees -1.5 (-125)
