The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees are set to wrap up a three-game series on Wednesday night. Each team has won one game, so whoever comes out on top tonight will be crowned the series winner.

Tyler Wells (4.41 ERA) gets the start for the Orioles, and he'll face Yankees young-gun J.P. Sears. Sears has pitched two scoreless innings in relief already this season, but this will be his first ever start in Major League Baseball.

Let's take a look at the odds via WynnBET for tonight's game.

Orioles vs. Yankees Odds, Run Line and Total

Run line:

  • Orioles +1.5 (-130)
  • Yankees -1.5 (+110)

Moneyline:

  • Orioles +152
  • Yankees -165

Total:

  • 8.5 (Over -105/Under -115)

Orioles vs. Yankees Prediction and Pick

If you're not familiar with J.P. Sears, you will be soon. The Yankees prospect has allowed only two earned runs in 21.2 innings pitched with the Yankees AAA affiliate this season. New York had no choice but to call him up, and he's looked fantastic with every opportunity he's been given.

Not only did he have a stellar ERA in the minors, but he had a 0.600 WHIP to go along with it. If he can keep up this level of pitching in the Majors, he can become an immediate staple in the Yankees rotation.

Backing the Yankees when Sears pitches might be an auto-bet until sportsbooks adjust their odds for this stud.

Lean: Yankees -165
