Wednesday, April 30 the Orioles (11-18) look to rebound after being run over by the Yankees (18-12) in Baltimore Tuesday Night. Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, and Ben Rice went back-to-back-to-back to lead off the game and Clay Bellinger added one of his own for good measure before the inning ended and the Yankees rolled to a 15-3 win.

Carrasco and Povich face off in Bakltimore in Game 2! The Yankees are playing well, while the Orioles are struggling in comparison. This is a big series for these two divisional foes. It’s time to continue our MLB odds series with a Yankees-Orioles prediction and pick.

I wrote in the series preview that the Yankees won more games yesterday than the Orioles have won since Easter. On the bright side, Baltimore will only need nine innings to win more games than New York today.

The New York Yankees have played well to start the 2025 Major League Baseball season. Despite dealing with multiple injuries before the first pitch of Opening Day, the Yankees have persevered, playing some of the best baseball of any team in the American League.

Per MLB, it's the first time in league history a team has led off a game with three straight homers twice in one season. The Yankees accomplished that before the end of April.

The Yankees teed off on Orioles starter Kyle Gibson, hitting three consecutive homers to start the game and four total in the first inning.
