Why The Orioles Could Cover The Spread
Tyler Wells is having a fantastic season. In 52 innings pitched, Wells has allowed only 31 hits and walked 10. He owns the lowest WHIP in the MLB at the moment, so he does a great job keep runners off base. He has gone at least five innings in all of his starts this season, as well. Wells does already have a start against the Yankees. In that start, Wells went six innings and struck out six. He did allow six hits and four runs, but he did pitch well enough to keep the Orioles in the ball game. If Wells can keep the Yankees off base in this game and hold them down, the Orioles will win this game.
Why The Yankees Could Cover The Spread
Cortes has been struggling a little bit this season. However, the Yankees have won all three of his starts in May. He is coming off a solid outing against the Toronto Blue Jays in which he threw six innings, allowed two runs on five hits and struck out six. Cortes has the ability to pitch well and if he does in this game, the Yankees will cover the spread.
As mentioned, Wells is having a good season. However, he does have a flaw. Wells has allowed 10 home runs this season and the Yankees have hit two of them. At Yankee Stadium, batters do not have to hit the ball very far. New York scores almost 50 percent of their runs via the long ball, so they are no stranger to it. If the Yankees can hit a few out of the park and find some barrels, they will win this game.
Final Orioles-Yankees Prediction & Pick
This game should be close, but expect the Orioles to keep playing well and cover the spread. They were one pitch away from winning the game on Tuesday until Judge went yard, but Baltimore will bounce back. The Orioles should keep this game within a run, or even win.
Final Orioles-Yankees Prediction & Pick: Orioles +1.5 (-170), Over 8.5 (+100)
