Orioles vs Yankees Prediction & Pick

Despite Gerrit Cole's struggles for seemingly the first time this season, the Yankees stole a win in the 10th inning on Tuesday night. Now they have Nestor Cortes on the mound -- their second-best healthy pitcher.

Cortes has had his share of struggles this season, but he looked like his old self in his most recent start against a talented Toronto Blue Jays lineup. Now, he goes up against Baltimore for the second time this season. His last outing against them was solid, as he gave up 2 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings en route to a win. Look for him to keep trending up at home here.

New York's lineup continues to be hot and should be able to get to Orioles starter Tyler Wells again after tagging him for 4 runs in 6 innings back in April.

Final Score Prediction: Yankees: 6 | Orioles: 3

Orioles vs Yankees Best Bet

Aaron Judge has been smashing the ball of late, seemingly hitting a home run every time you look up. The last time Judge faced Wells in April he homered off him, then added a second home run against Baltimore's bullpen for good measure. Judge has 8 home runs in his last nine games and now goes up against a team he has dominated historically. With Judge in the midst of a huge hot streak, back him to go yard again tonight.

Bet: Aaron Judge to Hit a Home Run (+200)
