T.M. Selection: Yankees/Orioles OVER.

I am on the over in the New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday. The Yankees haven't looked great in their games lately but they have still been putting up a ton of runs in those games. They have put up 5+ runs in 2 games in a row now and I think that is going to continue here since they have had a lot of high scoring games with the Orioles this year already. They have had 8/10 of their previous 10 games against the Orioles see 7+ runs total in them. The Orioles have also been hot themselves lately, winning a lot of games and putting up a ton of runs in those games. They lost the 1st game of this series to the Yankees but still put up 6 runs in the game. The Yankees haven't looked great with their bullpen though, they have been getting guys back from injury and they haven't been performing that well. The Orioles have also had some issues with their bullpen and giving up late runs in their games lately. Gerrit Cole (9-2, 3.02 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has been good this season but he has also had quite a few moments this year where he has looked shaky on the bump. He was struggling at the beginning of the year and worked through his issues, but he has still looked shaky in spots and has been giving up some runs in his starts lately. He even had a start in his 3 previous starts where he gave up 5 runs. He has also faced the Orioles 2 times this year and struggled in both games, giving up 7 runs total between the 2 games. Jordan Lyles (6-8, 4.76 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he has looked really shaky lately. He has been up and down all year but has been having a lot of bad starts lately and just had a terrible June. He gave up 6 runs in his most recent start, getting pulled in the 3rd inning, and I don't see him bouncing back here against 1 of the best lineups in the league. I expect there to be a ton of runs in this game by both teams like there always is when they meet up. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 9-6 Yankees.
