NY Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
I’ll stick with the Yankees. Cortes is doing a solid job over his last three starts. In that trio, he’s 1-0 with 15.1 innings, one earned, seven hits and seven walks combined. As for Eflin, he hasn’t been too bad with six earned over his last 18.1 innings, but he’s gone just 0-2 in that trio.
On Tuesday New York really couldn’t get much going offensively despite a solo homer from Aaron Judge and three hits from Gleyber Torres (with one RBI). The pen wasn’t spectacular either with 3.2 frames, four hits, three walks, and two earned. I like the Yankees to bounce back behind Cortes in game two.
