Yankees vs Orioles: Game 3 Prediction, Odds and Picks - June 20, MLB 2024
The New York Yankees vs. the Baltimore Orioles rivalry keeps building up as both teams battle to stay on top of the AL East. Game 1 was intense as the Orioles forced Aaron Judge to leave after being hit by the pitch.
Game 2 was yet another spectacular showdown as Victor Gonzalez hit Gunnar Henderson by pitch. Yankee fans were on their feet as the game escalated into the 10th inning. The Orioles won with the help of their strong offense and will turn in left-handed pitcher Cole Irvin to start in Game 3.
The Yanks will send out one of their best as Luis Gil gets the ball. Gil has the numbers on his side as he sports a better ERA than Irvin. The right has a dominant 2.03 ERA, while Irvin has 3.03. Gil holds a 9-1 record with 96 strikeouts, while Irvin has a 6-3 record with 51 strikeouts.
However, yesterday's game proved that the offense plays a crucial role. Gerrit Cole had a limited performance at the plate, but Cade Povich dominated with nine strikeouts.

Yankees vs. Orioles Prediction
The Orioles defeated their opponent in the first series. The Bronx Bombers will try to avoid another loss, especially with their home advantage and Luis Gil on the mound. Another questionable factor is the presence of the team's captain. Judge has played a significant role in the team's performance. The absence of Judge could hamper the Yanks offense.
On the other hand, they put up a strong fight with rookies like Ben Rice in the lineup. Gil's outstanding performance has carried the team throughout this season. The Orioles have a strong team, but the Yanks have a better record.
The Yanks have a stronger team ERA of 3.05 while the Orioles have a team ERA of 3.11. When it comes to strikeouts, the Yanks top the Orioles again. With a well-balanced offensive and pitching combination, the Yanks are predicted to win Game 3.
Prediction: New York Yankees -1.5 (-150)
