Baltimore Orioles (88-70) vs. New York Yankees (92-66)
Baltimore’s recent form embodies their toughness and ability to shock. Consequently, the Orioles have recently, or rather in the last 2 messages, sent a firm statement by throwing the Yankees out of the order. They were 9-7 and 5-3 winners over their opponents and displayed the quality in their offensive scrum. The Orioles had a horrid series against Detroit before heading off to New York – They managed to record only one win encased in two losses. This mixed form suggests a team that can be explosive on the serve but at the same time is prone to a lot of lapses on the other.

On the other side, the New York Yankees, despite their superior standing, have shown some inconsistency. Their recent encounters with the Orioles resulted in losses (7-9 and 3-5), which could be a psychological disadvantage entering this game. However, prior to these setbacks, the Yankees secured a clean sweep against Oakland. This displays their potential to dominate when their lineup clicks, particularly at home where they’ve been stronger.

Corbin Burnes (15-8, 2.95 ERA) vs. Gerrit Cole (7-5, 3.67 ERA)
Corbin Burnes throws 172 strikeouts and possesses a low 2.95 ERA, making him one of the best oriole pitchers this season. Quite as important to him when pitching against an explosive hitter – the Yankees – lineup will be whether he can locate his spots and avoid getting hit. In this regard, Burnes’ propensity to stay calm in high-pressure, high-leverage situations raises questions, especially against the Yankees chest-thumping bats.
Gerrit Cole, even though he has had some difficulties this season, is still one of the best pitchers for the Yankees. Having posted a 3.67 ERA and fanned 94 batters in 88.1 innings, we believe that Gerrit Cole has the experience and skills necessary to cope with the Baltimore Orioles batting order. These last games of the regular season will be critical for the Yankees’, and the pitcher’s, performance, especially in the closing months of the series with Blick Baltimore’s batters.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: New York Yankees -150, Total Odds: 7.5
Considering the tight competition and the recent performances of both teams, the odds are finely balanced. The game’s total is set at 7.5, indicating expectations for a moderately high-scoring game, likely due to the offensive capabilities of both teams and the crucial nature of the matchup.
Baltimore Orioles Betting Trends
Baltimore’s recent trend towards hitting the OVER in many of their games suggests an offense that’s clicking at the right time. Their ability to perform under pressure, especially on the road against the Yankees where they have a strong winning record, could tilt the odds in their favor for this game.
New York Yankees Betting Trends
Conversely, the Yankees have shown a propensity for keeping the total UNDER in recent home games, which could conflict with Baltimore’s offensive surge. Their ability to suppress runs at home will be tested against the Orioles’ lineup, which has been particularly effective in recent outings.
Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Yankees 9/26/24 Betting Picks
Considering the analysis and the trends of the Orioles and the Yankees games, the Orioles are certainly a good pick as they are the underdogs who did well against the Yankees, even in New York. This would make this game a tight, competitive one as Burnes pitches for Baltimore and provides them the slight edge in the battle of the pitchers.
The most recommended additional top MLB free picks would put Baltimore slightly on top due to their recent trend and history in Yankees’ home. It’s also possible to back the Orioles on the moneyline or in the over-and-under as both teams will come with scoring threats.
