The New York Yankees will host the Baltimore Orioles for their series finale this Thursday in the Bronx from Yankee Stadium on YES.

Orioles Betting Preview

Baltimore moved to 32-17 after defeating New York. The Orioles got back into the win column last night, and they’ll look to win their fifth series of the month Thursday. The Baltimore offense is scoring 4.95 runs per game, while batting .252, with a .329 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.09 ERA, with a 1.29 WHIP. Cedric Mullins has produced a run three of the last four games, and he leads the O’s in RBI (39). Ryan Mountcastle homered in game two to bring his team leads in HR (11), with 36 RBI. Austin Hays collected an RBI in last night's loss to the Yanks, and he now leads Baltimore in batting (.303).

Kyle Gibson (5-3, 4.27 ERA, 41 Ks) will get the ball for Baltimore. The veteran pitcher responded to a rough stretch of play with a strong outing in Toronto, striking out five in seven full innings, while containing the Jays to just one run. There’s optimism Gibson can build on this performance and return to his early season form, but this spot in the Bronx could be tricky.

Yankees Betting Preview

New York moved to 30-31 after falling to Baltimore. The Yankees had their five-game win streak snapped, and they’ll look to respond at home Thursday. The New York offense is scoring 3.92 runs per game, while batting .239, with a .313 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.87 ERA, with a 1.25 WHIP. Anthony Rizzo has recorded an RBI in both matchups with Baltimore, and he leads the Yankees in hits (57) and batting (.307). Aaron Judge has homered in three of the last five games, and he leads the team in HR (14) and RBI (33).

Clarke Schmidt (2-4, 6.00 ERA, 54 Ks) will get the call for New York. The second-year pitcher avenged a tough outing against Tampa by striking out six in five full innings versus Cincinnati to earn his second victory of the season. Schmidt faced Baltimore in his second start of the season, and he gave up four runs in 3.1 innings, and he may struggle again with them here.

Baltimore vs New York Trends

Corey’s Free Pick

Both squads have managed to pick up a win, and the rubber match should churn out some more good baseball. Regardless of how shaky Kyle Gibson has been, he still gives the O’s an advantage on the hill, he should be able to keep them in this ball game. Spot the pesky Orioles the runs here for safety.
