Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Rotation #962 Monday Free Pick New York Yankees Run Line -1.5 runs -120 vs Baltimore Orioles @ 7:05 ET - Andrew Heaney makes his Yankees debut and he is off back to back strong outings with the Angels. It has been quite some time since he has faced the Orioles so, unsurprisingly, their lineup has very little experience against and the couple guys who do are hitless. This is an edge for Heaney and note that Baltimore is one of the worst teams in baseball. The Yankees are on a 30-9 run against the Orioles including 13-3 in home games. Also, the Orioles are sending a struggling Jorge Lopez to the mound. He is 2-12 this season and has a 6.51 ERA in road games. Lopez enters this start with a 7.94 ERA last 3 starts and also is 1-3 with a 7.22 ERA in his 6 career starts against the Yankees. He'll be facing a number of hitters whom have enjoyed success against him so this one is a mismatch all the way around. Of course that is why New York is such a pricey home favorite on the money line but we get good value in the -120 range by laying the 1.5 runs. 52 of the Orioles 67 losses have been by 2+ runs and 39 of the Yankees 56 wins this season have been by 2+ runs.
