New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction: Bet on over in this matchup

On Friday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Yankee Stadium between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. 

The New York Yankees have won their previous three games, tallying a total of 16 runs, and have scored at least 4 runs in each of their last 6 games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Yankees have won seven of their last eight contests. The Yankees are led by Anthony Rizzo with 58 hits and 30 runs batted in, while Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge have a combined 90 hits and 58 runs batted in for the team. The Yankees have won 73 of their previous 107 games played at home and are 4-1 in their last 5 contests against teams from the American League East. The Yankees have a 12-4 record against the over in their last 16 games overall.

The Baltimore Orioles have now gone six straight games scoring at least four runs, extending their streak to 22 runs over the course of just three games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Orioles have won seven of their last ten contests. The Orioles are led in hits and runs batted in by Cedric Mullins, who has a total of 50, while Austin Hays and Adley Rutschman have combined for 97 hits and 42 runs batted in. The Orioles have a record of 12-5 over their previous 17 games played away from home, and they are 5-2 over their last 7 games overall. In the Orioles' previous five games, overall, the over is 4-1.

Both of the offenses are on fire, the field is little league size, and neither of our pitchers strikes anyone out. Kyle Gibson has pitched his whole career for the Yankees, where he has had a 4.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Clarke Schmidt has a 6.00 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP this season; he's a young pitcher still learning the ropes. I don't anticipate a lull in the attack. Given the caliber of both teams, we anticipate an over.
