Orioles vs Yankees Prediction
Baltimore comes into this matchup after sweeping the White Sox, but they are still last in the AL East standings. The Orioles are 36-38 on the road this year, while the Yankees are 41-36 at home. New York has scored 20 runs in their last two games and they are facing Povich, who has allowed 2, 4, 2, and 4 earned runs in his last four outings. Baltimore is going against Fried, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. I think we are going to see plenty of scoring, as I don’t trust Povich and the Yankees bullpen has been brutal. Take the over here.
