New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
The New York Yankees are free-falling and Gerrit Cole hasn't been good this season and the lack of reps doesn't help his case. You can make a case for the Orioles and the plus money at home. However, the Orioles are cold offensively, which includes being shutout in their last two games, and Cade Povich hasn't been any better than Cole. Also, the Yankees can't keep this ridiculous losing ways, can they? The price is reasonable. Give me the Yankees for a much-needed win behind their ace.
