New York vs Baltimore MLB Gambling Tips
Before rain postponed Tuesday’s contest, the Orioles had scored 36 runs over their last four games, including 11 in Monday’s series opening victory over the visiting New York Yankees.
The O’s will try to keep that offensive momentum going when the take on the Yankees in game three on Wednesday night on ESPN.

Chris Davis, Nelson Cruz and Jonathan Schoop all hit home runs in game one for Baltimore (68-50), who are winners of 11 of their last 15 games.
Cruz has fueled the Orioles offense with six RBIs in his last three games and Adam Jones has eight hits in his last four games, as Baltimore has gone 8-3 so far in the month of August and is 18 games above .500.

Meanwhile, after Monday’s defeat, the Yankees (61-57) have lost three in a row.
An inconsistent offense that had produced three or less runs in six of its last eight games, has been a real problem for New York, with the exception of a retiring Derek Jeter, who has a hit in nine of his last 10 games.

Looking to put an end to Jetter’s hitting streak will be Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who is 9-5 with a 3.73 ERA and has 102 strikeouts in 149.2 innings.
The right-hander is 5-5 with a 5.64 ERA in 12 career starts against the Yankees, and is coming off a solid performance against St. Louis, in which he gave up two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings.
The Yankees will counter with 25-year-old Michael Pineda, who is 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA and has 15 strikeouts in 19.2 innings. The right-handed Dominican made two rehabilitation starts this month and struck out 11 in 7 2/3 innings.
He is 0-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two career starts against the Orioles.

Matt’s Free Prediction: Orioles –
The Orioles are 7-3 in Tillman’s last 10 starts overall, while the Yanks are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings at Camden Yard.
And while New York has looked good as of late, with the exception of its minor losing streak, I like the Orioles to win in a big way at home in this one.
