In a clash that promises an enticing duel, the Baltimore Orioles are up against the New York Yankees. A surprising twist this season sees the O’s still in the race for the AL East division, a shift from their previous standings over the past few years. For this face-off, the Orioles are sending Kyle Bradish to the mound while the Yankees counter with their ace, Gerrit Cole.

Cole is priced at -167, and the total for the game is at 7.5, lower than many of the games on today’s board.

Interestingly, we see a price under $2 for Cole again. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – New York’s ace has proved to be a solid pick, and as his performance maintains, it’s intriguing to see his price creeping up.

However, considering the environmental factors, the under might be the more appealing play in this matchup. With the wind expected to blow in at Yankee Stadium, this might tilt the game in favor of the pitchers. This could end up as more of a duel between the mounds than a slugfest.

In essence, this game could be an opportunity to back Cole at a decent price, and considering the total at 7.5 with potentially favorable wind conditions, the under might be a value bet to explore.
