Going against the Yankees right now is suicide? That may be a valid statement, but that's where some of the value comes from in this one. Chien-Ming Wang has not been pitching well lately. In his last 10 starts, Wang has worked 61 innings, allowed 70 hits and sports an ERA close to 5. Every team has another team that they struggle against, and the O's have been that team for the Yankees this year. They are just 3-6 and have been outscored 44-35. The O's are the only team to take a series from the Yankees in their last 11 series. Wang has had no success against the O's who have garnered 46 hits in his last 31.2 innings, and his ERA is a woeful 5.68. The O's are feeling good winning 2 of 3 in Boston. Jeremy Gutherie has out-pitched Wang this season. Gutherie has allowed just two runs in both starts against the Yankees this season. The O's certainly have a chance in this one, and with a moneyline over 200, the value is there.
