MLB - 965 Baltimore Orioles @ 966 New York Yankees
(Starting Pitchers: J. Hammel vs H. Kuroda)
Baltimore will start Jason Hammel today and he has been in terrible form lately. He allowed five earned runs in seven innings against the White Sox and even though Hammel has been facing some great opposition lately, the truth is that his 5.19 ERA and 18 home runs allowed in 100.2 innings this year don't lie. He is struggling and the Yankees' lineup with their regained confidence should pound him today.
On the other hand, the Yankees will start Hiroki Kuroda, who saw his start being moved up for Sunday due to a small hip injury. This allowed Kuroda to have some extra rest for today and he is coming exactly from an outing against Baltimore on the road on Sunday Night Baseball, where he allowed four earned runs in six innings. However, I have to mention that his command was great with 7/0 K/BB! Even though Kuroda is likely to have an issue here and there today, he is on revenge mode and he has enough quality to handle the Orioles today, especially as Baltimore's offense is just #25 over the past two weeks! On the other hand, the Yankees seem ready to pound the struggling Hammel and so, I'll be taking the NY team today for a comfortable win for them.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 966 New York Yankees ML (w/ H. Kuroda) @ -123 / 1.81 on Bovada
