Sonny Gray gets the start for the Yankees this evening. He has started 17 games this season and has a 5-7 record with a 5.85 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. Gray has logged 84.2 innings this season and has 77 strikeouts with 38 walks.
Orioles edge NY again

MLB Betting Trends
New York
The Yankees have lost four of Gray’s last five starts and five of his last seven starts in the division.
Baltimore
The Orioles have won five of Bundy’s last seven Wednesday starts, but they are just 4-12 in their last 16 Wednesday games.
Prediction:
The Orioles have managed to have New York’s number twice in this series and now they get to face Gray, who has been a mess. He has allowed 15 earned runs over his last 11.0 innings of work and New York has lost his last three starts. Bundy hasn’t been outstanding either, but I trust him a little more than Gray right now, especially with how this series has played out.
The Pick: Baltimore Orioles +135
