Orioles vs Yankees Prediction
The Yankees are coming into this game as a massive favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they are on a big winning streak and they have been playing very well at home. They are going up against an Orioles side that has also been playing well recently and they tried to put up a good fight in the first game of this series but the more they kept coming back the more the Yankees kept piling on more runs and this will likely be a game that the Orioles will not be able to keep up in with how well the Yankees have been hitting the ball recently. Zimmermann has not had a bad start for the Orioles yet this season but that is not going to last forever and this is a good spot for him to get beat up on in this game. The best bet in this game is on the Yankees to win on the runline as they keep piling on runs in this whole series.
