Orioles vs. Yankees Offense Outlook
So far this season, the Orioles are the top-scoring team in the league, averaging 5.1 runs per game. They have been even better on the road, averaging 5.2 runs per contest. Not only do they lead the league in home runs, but they also have the best isolated power figure in the league. As a team, they are batting .249, which is 7th in the league.
Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson have been the Orioles’ top power threats this season, with Rutschman’s 14 homers ranking 3rd on the team and Henderson’s 22 homers being the best mark in the league. Rutschman is also hitting .292, and Henderson comes into the game with a batting average of .273. Anthony Santander has also been swinging a hot bat of late, going 8/26 in his last seven games with four homers.
As a team, the Yankees are 3rd in the league in scoring, averaging 5 runs per game. They are also one of the top home run hitting teams in the league and have a team batting average of .252, which is 6th in the league. So far, they have been a better offensive team on the road, averaging 5.3 runs per contest.
Right fielder Juan Soto has been a huge addition to the lineup this season, as he is batting .313 with 18 home runs and 55 RBIs.

Free Orioles vs. Yankees MLB Pick
Not many teams are going to be able to add a pitcher to the fold as good as Gerrit Cole in the middle of the season, but Cole will be making his season debut after an elbow injury. On the other side, Cade Povich was roughed up in his season debut, but had a really good outing vs. the Braves on June 12th. It’s tough to expect that much out of Cole in his debut, and I like the Orioles on the money line in this one, coming with a nice payout of +147.
