Game one of this Sunday’s doubleheader finds the Yankees at Baltimore with Bartolo Colon against Zach Britton. Colon has respectable overall season numbers, but the 38-year-old has had two very different seasons: a great first half, followed by a DL stint and he’s been throwing awful since. His last three starts he’s 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA. His last two starts have been disasters, allowing 10 runs in 11 innings against Kansas City and Oakland - not exactly offensive powerhouses. The Orioles play hard for Buck Showalter and are on one of their hot streaks again, winning five in a row – all as a dog! Baltimore lefty Britton is just 23 and has been outstanding at home, with a 4-3 record and a 2.81 ERA in Camden Yards where opponents hit just .229 off him. On the road he struggles badly, but he’s a home dog today. Play the Orioles on the runline in game one. Also take the UNDER here. While the O's have gone 9-2 OVER with Britton on the mound on the road, at home they are 7-2 UNDER with him toeing the rubber. Meanwhile, the Yanks are 7-2 UNDER on the road with Colon on the mound. The Yankees are 12-3 UNDER this season when revenging a road loss as a favorite. Baltimore doesn't score 12+ runs a lot, but when they do, they are a very good bet to go UNDER the following game. The O's are a perfect 9-0 UNDER the past three seasons after putting up 12+ runs. They are also 21-8 UNDER the past two seasons after 3+ straight wins. Take Baltimore and the UNDER here.
