New York Yankees

Baltimore Orioles
(+100/-120)-110
On September 19, 2025, the Baltimore Orioles will host the New York Yankees in the second game of their series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Yankees currently hold a solid 86-67 record and are in contention for a playoff spot, while the Orioles are struggling at 72-81, sitting at the bottom of the American League East. In their last encounter, the Yankees narrowly edged out the Orioles, continuing their strong offensive display.
The matchup features Orioles’ left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers, who boasts an impressive Win/Loss record of 8-2 and an excellent ERA of 1.43. However, projections indicate he might be overperforming, as his xFIP suggests a regression could be on the horizon. Facing him will be Yankees’ right-hander Will Warren, who has a more average ERA of 4.44 and is projected to perform slightly better than his current numbers suggest.
The Yankees’ offense ranks as the 1st best in MLB, and they lead the league with 258 home runs this season. This powerful lineup will test Rogers, who is a high-groundball pitcher (48 GB%) and generally does well against teams that struggle to lift the ball. Meanwhile, the Orioles’ offense ranks just 20th, which could limit their ability to exploit Warren’s vulnerabilities.
Betting markets see this as a close contest, with a Game Total set at 9.0 runs. The projections have the Orioles with a high implied team total of 4.39 runs, while the Yankees are projected for 4.61 runs. Given the current dynamics, this matchup presents an intriguing opportunity for bettors, especially considering Baltimore’s ability to surprise on any given day.
