NYY vs BAL Betting Outlook
Gleyber Torres’ RBI double highlighted a three-run first inning for the Yankees, who hung on for a one-run win Wednesday night.
Torres’ hit followed two-out singles by Anthony Rizzo and Josh Donaldson. Donaldson scored on a wild pitch and Torres also came home on the same play on catcher Anthony Bemboom’s throwing error.

Yankees vs Orioles Prediction
The Yankees are rolling but Zimmermann is quietly having a fine season. The Orioles are also the only team to win a series from New York this year.
Put those two factors together along with the long odds of sweeping a four-game series and it makes Baltimore worth a play at a good price.
Pick: Orioles ML (+175)
