New York at Baltimore

Eric Bedard struggled throughout April with a 6.09 ERA. Bedard has pitched lights out since. He has worked 66 innings, allowing just 53 hits. He has struckout 79 and his ERA has been 2.32. Bedard has magnificent control as he has not walked a batter in three of his last four starts. After allowing six April home runs, he has allowed five since. The Yankees are a puzzling flawed team. They had the long losing streak, looked like they had righted the ship, and have now dropped 6 of 7. Roger Clemens is the reason for this moneyline. Roger is no doubt big in stature, but small in results. He has an ERA of 5+ and accumulates pitches quickly. The last time out he wilted in the heat, and could not get out of the 5th inning. The temperature will be approaching the century mark in Baltimore today, so expect 90 or so with high heat at game time. The Yankees keep inventing ways to lose. Last night Scott Proctor walked three in the ninth, and the last one became a walkoff walk. We would not be surprised if the O's sweep this series. They are by far baseball's streakiest team. They have winning streaks of 3, 4, 4, 4,and 6 games and losing streaks of 4, 5, 5, 5,and 9 games. The O's are in the winning mode right now, having taken 4 of 6, and as bad as their record is this season they are 20-12 after a win while the Yankees have a losing record after a loss.
