Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees Prediction: Expect a tough contest

This week's edition of Sunday night baseball will take place at Camden Yards and feature the last game of the three-game AL East division series between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. Who will emerge victorious from this monumental showdown during primetime?

Baltimore Orioles - Orioles will win this time

Even though they were defeated by the New York Yankees on Saturday, the Baltimore Orioles are still the best team in the American League East and one of the best teams in all of Major League Baseball. They currently have a record of 63-41 on the season, which puts them 1.5 games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East standings and 3 notches fewer in the loss column than the Rays. The Baltimore Orioles are led by Anthony Santander with 18 home runs and 57 runs batted in, and Adley Rutschman has a.369 on-base percentage and leads the team with 100 hits. Austin Hays leads the Orioles in hitting with a batting average of.289 and also has 97 hits for the team. Dean Kremer, who has a record of 10-4 with a 4.59 earned run average and 104 strikeouts so far this season, will get the start for the Baltimore Orioles in this game.

New York Yankees - Yankees will hope for another win

The New York Yankees had been struggling for the most part over the course of the past couple of months, but Saturday was the day that Yankee fans had been waiting for as everything seemed to be going right in the world. Aaron Judge hit a home run, and the New York Yankees got back to business by beating the Baltimore Orioles 8-3 to take back the lead in their division. The victory moved the Yankees' overall record to 55-49 for the season, which is 3.5 games behind in the race for the AL Wild Card but still 8 games behind in the battle for the AL East, which is led by these very same Orioles. The New York Yankees are led by Gleyber Torres with 100 hits, 44 RBIs, and a batting average of.258. Anthony Rizzo has a.333 on-base percentage, 12 home runs, and 41 RBIs, while Aaron Judge has a team-high 20 home runs so far this season. This game will be started for Seattle by Luis Severino, who has a record of 2-4, a 6.46 ERA, and 45 strikeouts so far this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Although I can see the merit in arguing either way, I'm going to have to go with the Orioles on this one. Severino and Kremer are two starting pitchers who both have terrible percentile numbers in a variety of analytics. However, the difference for me here is that the Orioles seem to have a knack for winning with Kremer on the mound, as he's been one of the most profitable pitchers in baseball. On the other hand, Severino has put the Yankees behind the eight-ball more often than not when he starts, and I think this game ends up being no different.
