Dean Kremer (7-10, 4.19 ERA) vs. Clarke Schmidt (5-4, 2.37 ERA)
Even with a disconcerting 7-10 record ceiling, Dean Kremer of the Orioles has stepped up with an encouraging 4.19 ERA coming into today’s fixture. Kremer’s season has been a thoroughly mixed bag that has seen him have 120 strikeouts and a 1.25 WHIP over the course of 124.2 innings. He has the potential to put hitters down, however, he also gave up 17 home runs which could be exploitable against teams such as the Yankees who love to hit home runs.
The Yankees’ starter Clarke Schmidt enjoys better fortunes on record at 2-4 with 5 deformations 4 in his favor and a 2.37 ERA. Schmidt has had a good feeling of what has been going on and over 76 innings pumped in a decent 1.17 WHIP letting in only 7 homers and 81 strikeouts. Maybe, because Schmidt pitches within himself and doesn’t give up home runs, this will greatly benefit the Yankees, especially, late in the game.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: New York Yankees Yankees -1.5 (+126), Total Odds: 8.5
The Yankees are the clear favorites in this matchup and are favored with -169 moneyline which justifies their current form and their home court. The total for the game has been set high at 8.5 but with value lines indicating bias towards UNDER, it would be logical to estimate even a game with good chances for pitches dominating.
