Orioles vs Yankees Series Odds: New York a Win Away From Winning the AL East

In theory, that made this series between the Orioles and Yankees very exciting. It is each team’s second-to-last series of the season, and it could have decided the AL East winner.

However, the Orioles have struggled over the last 20 games, going 8-12, while the Yankees have gotten hot, with a 13-7 record. With the teams trending in the opposite direction, the AL East is still on the line in this series, but all the Yankees need to do is win one game to pop the champagne.

Orioles vs Yankees Odds and Run Line

Orioles vs Yankees Series Betting Preview

Game 1: Yankees Take Division Early

The Yankees have won the last nine opening games of a series. While that has not directly led to a series win, it surely starts things on the right foot for the Yankees. That has BetUS Sportsbook Online MLB odds leaning in favor of the Yankees in the opening game at home at -155. Plus, if they get one win in this series, they win the AL East, so why not get that done early?

Clarke Schmidt, who has looked good, will be on the mound of the Yankees. Before September, the last time that Schmidt had pitched was in May, having been placed on the 60-day IL. He has been solid since rejoining the pitching staff, with a 1.76 ERA through three appearances totaling 15.1 innings. Schmidt may have struggled in his last start, with three runs and one earned in five innings, but he did strike out seven batters.

The Orioles will have starting pitcher Dean Kremer take the mound in the series’ opening game. Kremer has looked good in September, with a 2.37 ERA over three starts and 19 innings. However, he did struggle in his last game, which could change things. He pitched six innings, with five runs, four earned, and two home runs, despite getting seven strikeouts.

The only issue is that the Yankees are coming off a series where they just swept the Oakland Athletics and scored 21 runs. Sure, it’s the Athletics, but after a long homerless stretch, Aaron Judge seems to have found his power again, with a home run in the last two games.

Game 2: Orioles Win Depending on Game 1

If the Yankees win the opening game of this series, this game feels like a sure loss. After the Yankees clinched a playoff spot on September 18, they celebrated, which led to a 3-2 loss the next day against the Seattle Mariners. That will undoubtedly affect MLB lines, with the Yankees only playing to have the first or second seed for the playoffs.

However, things could get slightly completed if the Yankees don’t win the series-opening game. The Orioles will have a strong pitcher take the mound in the second game, Zach Eflin, which could shift the game in their favor. Eflin has made eight starts for the Orioles since being acquired at the trade deadline, with a 5-2 record and 2.31 ERA. He has been a perfect piece in this Orioles rotation, which needs consistency.

Nestor Cortes will take the mound for the Yankees. While Cortes’s season has had many rough patches, he is hot now, which led to him not being moved to the bullpen when the Yankees needed to cut the starting rotation down. The Yankees have won the last three games Cortes has pitched in, with him allowing just one run over 16.1 innings.

Game 3: Aces Meet

If the Yankees have not clinched the division before the series’ final game, they will be in trouble. Both teams will have their aces on the mound, which could lead to neither scoring many runs. Corbin Burnes will be getting the start, which could lead MLB predictions in favor of the Orioles. Burnes has been lights out in September, getting in playoff form, allowing four runs, three earned, in 25 innings over four starts.

Corbin Burnes:
-Back-to-back starts with 7 IP, 0 R
-Lowers season ERA to 2.95
-1.08 ERA over last 4 starts (25 IP, 3 ER)

Then, the Yankees will have the reigning AL Cy Young winner on the mound, Gerrit Cole, who has struggled with injuries in 2024. Despite Cole going into his last start after allowing seven runs, he pitched nine innings, allowing just two hits and one run. Both aces come into this game pitching well, and because the Yankees may have no pressure to win, this game has every chance of being low-scoring.

Orioles vs Yankees Series Prediction: Orioles 2-1

The Yankees need one win in this series to clinch the division. After that, they already have a two-game lead for the best record in the AL. The Yankees should win the opening game with a strong pitcher on the mound and a lineup hitting the ball well. Once the Yankees win, they could coast, leading MLB betting picks to favor the Orioles at +165 odds to win the series.
