MLB Wednesday
Baltimore at N.Y. Yankees
The O’s are 3-19 after scoring two runs or less this year and alarming 1-17 in road games after scoring one or fewer runs in a loss to an AL East rival since 2008. Even when the Birds get a good pitched game, they are 6-27 as visitors after scoring and allowing three runs or less.
Its little wonder why Baltimore is a +260 underdog in the Bronx having to face Phil Hughes (6-1, 2.70), whose been New York’s best and most consistent pitcher this season. The Yankees are scoring 6.6 runs per game in the pinstripes and are 16-1 in home conflicts after allowing one run or less.
The Baltimore Orioles offense is atrocious. The team has scored just 4 runs over their past 4 games playing to under the totals in each of them. The team has gone under in 7 of 8 because their offense does not produce runs.
Hughes sits with an ERA of 2.70 and a WHIP of just over 1 on the season so I don’t expect the Orioles to inflict much damage on him.
-1.5 RL 
(MY BEST BET)
