Why Bet on New York Yankees
The New York Yankees are an interesting organization right now, because of their ability to play young guys. The Yankees are full of them, and they are getting chances to play. New York’s Ronald Torreyes has a home run and three runs batted in, through the first series of the season in 2017.
The Yankees are going to use Luis Severino for his first start of the season. The 23 year old from the Dominican Republic is going to make his 23rd start of his career. Severino holds an 8-11 record in his career. Severino has struck out 122 batters and walked 47 batters in 133.1 innings pitched.
Why Bet on Baltimore Orioles
Buck Showalter and the Baltimore Orioles have a chip on their shoulder from their postseason loss a season ago. The Orioles scored three runs in both of their wins over the Toronto Blue Jays. The first win for the Orioles was in extra innings. Baltimore saw Chris Davis blast his first homerun in the win on Wednesday.
The Orioles starting pitcher for this game is Ubaldo Jimenez. The 33 year old is making his 291st start of his career. Jimenez has won 108 games in his career. The Orioles are hoping for a solid start from Jimenez before the tough bullpen, led by Zach Britton at the back end takes over and saves the game.
Expert Score & Prediction
Ubaldo Jimenez still has a little bit left in him. He has been known to give up some hits, and some runs, but also can throw gems. Look for him to go 6 innings or so, and be strong in this game. The Baltimore Orioles will score the most they have scored in the regular season so far this season in this game.
Baltimore is going to win the game, and it likely will not be close. After several early runs for Baltimore, they cruise. The final bet for this game on Friday is the Baltimore Orioles over the New York Yankees.
