NEW YORK YANKEES (88-58) Streak: L1
This is quite a price to get on the New York Yankees, thanks to the fact they dropped their last game, are on the road here and are playing a team that has been on fire, and playing without pressure.
So this comes under a value play for me, seeing as Baltimore are still a 58-88 team, and the pitcher is weaker in his numbers and win-loss record.
The Yankees will send out AJ Burnett, who has a 10-13 record with a 5.13ERA. His numbers against Baltimore are good though. In 4 starts against the Orioles, he has a 2.48 ERA and tends to leave the bullpen only a little work to do.
BALTIMORE ORIOLES (58-88) Steak: W3
The Orioles start Kevin Millwood tonight. He is 3-15 this season, with a 5.30 ERA. He is also 2-7 against the Yankees, including 0-2 in 3 starts this season.
Millwood's ERA in those 3 games was 7.56, and he gave up 6 runs on 10 hits and issued 5 walks in just under 6 innings of work in their last meeting. Baltimore went down 12-7.
At home, since the All Star break, Millwood has gone 0-4 with a 4.78 ERA in 5 starts. In his last start, he gave up 3 runs in 6 innings at Detroit.
Baltimore are 4-11 against the Yankees this season.
BETTING VERDICT
Five different Yankees players hit home runs off Millwood, and they come into this fully prepared for Baltimore, who can not be taken lightly. As it happens, they trail Tampa Bay in the AL East by just half a game, so will look to win here for sure.
Expect some scoring here, with the Yankees getting the win.
The Pick :
Yankees win
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take the New York Yankees @ 1.70 (Pinnacle)
