ASA FREE PICK TOTAL: OVER 9 NY Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles, 1:35 PM ET - The first game of this series saw 13 runs scored followed up by 9 runs yesterday. Yesterday’s game should have been much higher scoring as the two teams pounded out 21-total hits. The Yankees left 11 men on base and went 1-14 with runners in scoring position. Baltimore stranded 6 and went 4-8 with RISP. Obviously, the Yankees are the most productive team in the Majors producing 5.37 runs per 9 innings, hitting .245 as a team, they own the #1 OPS in baseball at .775 and hit more homers than anyone. On the season the O’s don’t have great offensive statistics but looking at their last eight games they are 13th in runs scored at 47 total or 5.87 per game. In that same stretch of 8 games, they are hitting .277 with an OPS of .816. The Yankees will send Nestor Cotes Jr. to the mound who has great overall numbers at 7-3 with a 2.63 ERA, but he hasn’t been as sharp in recent games allowing 26 hits and 13 earned runs in his last 25.3 innings of work. The Yankees will get to Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer who has good numbers on paper with a 3-1 record and 2.59 ERA, but those statistics may be a little misleading. Kremer has allowed 0 earned runs in four of his last six starts but they came against the Rays, White Sox, Mariners and Angels who all rank 16th or worst in runs scored per game. Seattle and Los Angeles (Angels) are easily two of the worst hitting teams in baseball. We predict another high hit/run game in this series finale.
