Fresh off taking three of four from the Chicago White Sox on the South Side, the New York Yankees continue their road trip back east with the start of a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles Monday night.

The O's followed up their two consecutive series wins by getting swept on the road in Detroit by the Tigers this weekend. Their pitching was good enough to keep them in nearly every game, but Baltimore scored a total of three runs in their last three games.

Can they get enough offense back in Baltimore to snap their streak?

Here are the latest odds for the Yanks and the Birds over at WynnBET Sportsbook.

Yankees vs. Orioles Prediction and Pick

I like the O's as a big dog on Monday night to get back in the win column Monday night.

Baltimore sends out right-hander Kyle Bradish, who fanned 11 St. Louis Cardinals over seven innings in his last start. St. Louis is the toughest team in baseball to strike out this season with a K-percentage of only 19.2%.

Meanwhile, after an outstanding start to the season, Yankees starter Luis Severino has come back to earth. After giving up only three runs in his first three starts (13 innings), Severino's allowed 10 runs in his last three, giving up a home run in every game. Over his past two starts, his home run-fly ball ratio is up near 20%, but only one of those games was in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium.

With Severino looking for more consistency, as well as the Orioles playing to 9-7 at home this season (they're 5-14 on the road), there's a nice little opening with plenty of value to back the home dog tonight.

LEAN: Orioles ML +185
