MLB FREE PICK: Take Baltimore. According to latest MLB trends, New York Yankees are: 2-8 last 10 vs. a starters with a WHIP greater than 1.30, 1-5 last 6 road games and 2-6 last 8 as a dog. Baltimore is: 13-5 last 18 home games, 18-8 last 26 on grass and 10-4 last 14 home games vs. a right-handed starter.
This is a big series for both teams in terms of the American League East. RHP David Phelps (5-4, 4.01 ERA) has won four of his last six decisions for the Yankees. He is 1-0 with a 4.08 ERA in six games (two starts) against Baltimore. LHP T.J. McFarland will make his first start of his career. The left-hander is a Rule 5 draft pick from Cleveland, who is coming off working 4 1/3 innings at Toronto on Sunday in a 13-5 loss. He gave up five hits and five runs in a no-decision. The Yankees are struggling without much power in their lineup. Now that 1B Mark Teixeira (wrist) is out for the year, and with OFCurtis Granderson on the disabled list, the Yankees have very little power. They are averaging just 3.92 runs per game. Baltimore doesn’t lack for power, as 1B Chris Davis has 28 home runs to lead the majors. Baltimore also leads the majors in home runs with 108 and they play in a band box in Camden Yards. Baltimore is one game ahead of the Yankees for second place in the American League East. They need to take at least two of three against a slumping lineup to gain ground on Boston. It also helps the Orioles that the Yankees are hitting just .227 against left-handers.
