The O’s suddenly find themselves in playoff position after taking three of four in Tampa Bay and going 5-3 in their last eight games.

Meanwhile, the Yankees just lost three in a row before salvaging a win in Toronto on Sunday. They hope to reset after an off day on Monday.

Yankees vs. Orioles Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The O’s are on a decent heater right now, but I don’t buy it. Even after winning three of four in Tampa Bay, they face another tough test at home with the Yankees coming to town.

Carlos Rodon is making his first MLB start in nearly two months after missing time due to injury, and the southpaw has dominated the Orioles in recent years. He yielded three runs on six hits in 13 innings against Baltimore in two starts last season.

On the flip side, the Yankees tagged Shane Baz for six runs (five earned) in 5.2 innings earlier this year, and 11 runs in 6.1 innings last season.

New York is still the superior team with the superior pitcher on the hill.

Pick: Yankees -109
