Sunday Night Baseball Pitching Matchup
Luis Severino will get the start for the New York Yankees. Things have not gone great for Severino this season, as he is 2-4 on the season with a 6.46 earned run average. The 29-year-old is 2-4 with a 6.46 in 10 starts this season. His most recent start was against Kansas City, where he allowed eight hits and three runs over 5.2 innings, including two home runs.
Dean Kremer will throw for the first-place Baltimore Orioles. Kremer is having a solid year, with ten wins. Kremer is 10-4 with a 4.59 earned run average. The 27-year-old has made 20 starts this season.
His most recent was one of his best, allowing just three hits and a run over seven innings at Philadelphia. In his last four starts, Kremer has allowed just eight earned runs over 24.2 innings.
Offensive Power on Both Sides
The New York Yankees got a home run to start the offense from Giancarlo Stanton hitting a home run. Then, in the third inning, Aaron Judge hit a two-run home run. It was the 14th of the season for Judge, and for Stanton, it was his second game back since going on the injured list following the June 3rd game. Judge had a monster game, with three hits in his first four at-bats.
Ryan Mountcastle hit his 13th home run of the season for Baltimore to tie the game early, but this was about the Yankees’ offense and the lack of Baltimore pitching. The Orioles’ pitching has been up and down all season, with an earned run average of nearly 4.20 on the season, which is right in the middle of baseball. Baltimore is watching teams come away with 8.5 hits per game this season.
What’s Next for Both Teams
The New York Yankees will start in August with the Tampa Bay Rays. In fact, the series will start Monday at Yankee Stadium. They will then welcome Houston to town for four.
The following week, the Yankees go on the road to the White Sox and the Marlins before heading to Atlanta to wrap up the 9-game road trip. When the Yankees get back on August 18th, the Red Sox will be waiting for them.
After the Orioles wrap up this series against the Yankees, they will go on the road starting Monday for a quick four-game trip to Toronto to battle the Blue Jays. After that, the Mets and Astros come to town before the Orioles go out for a long 9-game road trip with stops in Seattle, San Diego, and Oakland.
Betting Pick for Sunday
This should be a great baseball game between two teams hungry for wins. The Orioles want to keep proving they belong at the top of the standings, while the Yankees are slowly but surely hoping to rise the American League standings for a playoff spot.
Severino is due for a good outing, and this is one he is going to get. Look for the Yankees to put forth a solid game and win this one. Betting the road underdog – New York Yankees +105 is the way to go on Sunday.
