Orioles vs. Yankees Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. This is going to be a fantastic pitching matchup between Eflin, who has been money since joining the Orioles at the trade deadline, and Cortes, who has pitched his best baseball at home, to begin with and has been on quite the run of form over the last month or so. All in all, I think we have a great game lined up here but I think it’s going to be a pitcher’s duel. Give me the under here.
