Divisional Rout MLB 10*
(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Baltimore,
Money Line: -115.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Loss
#961 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* NY Yankees -120 over Baltimore Orioles, Friday at 7:05 PM ET - We will go action on pitchers here. The Orioles have Grayson Rodriguez listed as a starter and the Yankees are expected to start Gerrit Cole here. The odds that both pitchers get scratched is, of course, very minimal and this is both a play on Cole and a play against Rodriguez so we are in good shape either way. Cole enters this one having another strong month as batters are hitting just .196 against him in July and he has struck out 31 in 25.2 innings!   Grayson Rodriguez has struggled badly for the Orioles in his home starts this season.  Rodriguez has a 9.11 ERA with a .348 BAA in his 6 starts at home in Baltimore this season.  He could be facing a Yankees lineup rejuvenated by the bat of Aaron Judge who is expected to be activated for this game as he has completed his rehabilitation after injury.  The Yankees have won 4 of 5 games. The Orioles have lost B2B games.  Also, Baltimore has lost 2 of the last 3 home games.  The Yankees are ranked #1 in the majors for bullpen ERA and their pen is also #2 for batting average against.  The Orioles bullpen has a solid ERA but the batting average against numbers for the Baltimore pen ranks them 22nd out of the 30 MLB teams.  The point is that Baltimore has been fortunate with the low bullpen ERA thus far this season. So, all factors considered, a lot of value with the road team at a very fair money line price in this one. Look for New York to build momentum off the 3-1 win over the Mets Wednesday. The Yankees get the win this evening in Baltimore.
