Orioles vs. Yankees Prediction

I’m on the Yankees here. I like this Orioles team, but the offense has fallen off of a cliff in recent games and it’s just hard to back them, especially against a Yankees team that just keeps finding ways to win this late in the year as they’re pushing ahead to secure the division and home field in the playoffs. Baltimore I think will have value at some point, it’s just not here. Give me the Yankees.
