Yankees vs Orioles Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game with a quality starter on both sides, as Sugano stifled the Yankees earlier this year. Fried has been one of the best starters in the American League so far this season. I just think this is going to end up being a lower-scoring game, so I’m rocking with the under in this one.
