Gerrit Cole hasn't earned his money for almost a month now. Orioles have scored 8 runs in 12.2 innings against him this year. I like this Akin kid. He shut out the Yankees in 5.1 innings last time. The only thing that worries me is that the Yankees get to see him a second time, and they drew 4 walks against him, but then again, he struck out 8 batters also. Both teams have been going different directions lately, and +144 for a potential tie or better for the hotter team kind of looks delicious. This line looks too "regular" Cole rated to me when we have seen a different Gerrit in August.
