Baltimore at New York

New York continues their meteoric post All-Star rise having won 12 of their last 14. Right now they are playing with an incredible amount of confidence and it's letting their true talent show through. They are only four games out now which is truly amazing. We took a shot on the Orioles last night given the value at +220. Baltimore actually had that game but the Yankees snatched it it away with a Derek Jeter signle in the ninth. That just shows that right now the Yankees just can't lose - even in games with a bad start and a blown save. So, with that said, we aren't too worried about the Jeff Karstens start. The Yankees will score against Cabrera who yieled eight runs (seven earned) in just over five innings to the Mariners in his last start. Baltimore's bullpen is awful (5.16 road ERA with 61.9% saves). New York is averaging 7.9 runs per game in August having scored less than 5 runs just once (vs. Roy Halladay)! They have put up 7+ runs in eight of their twelve August games. Baltimore scores just 4.5 per game ont he road where they are 25-35. They are also just 19-37 vs. winning teams so we don't see them surprising here.
