Final Yankees-Orioles Prediction & Pick
The Orioles have yet to name a starting pitcher for this game. This is the spot in the rotation for Cade Povich, but he is slated to start on Wednesday. Brandon Young could go on short rest, or Zach Eflin could be ready to return from the IL. Most likely, it will be Kyle Gibson coming up from the minors. He has not pitched at the major league level this year, but has plenty of experience against the current Yankees. Current Yankees are 15-83 with six walks against Gibson. They also have eight extra base hits, with three home runs and three RBIs. Jazz Chisholm is 5-14 with a double, a triple, a home run, and three RBIs. Further, Cody Bellinger is just 2-15, but both hits are home runs with four RBIs.
Meanwhile, it is Carlos Rodon on the mound for the Yankees. He has been much better on the road, and as of late. In his last two starts, he has pitched 13 innings, giving up just one unearned run. Further, he has struck out 17 batters with just 12 base runners in the last 13 innings of work. The current Orioles are 13-39 against Rodon with eight RBIs, but with the Orioles' current struggles at the plate, take the Yankees in this one.
Final Yankees-Orioles Prediction & Pick: Yankees ML (-146)
