Yankees Offered at Favorable Price Despite Orioles' Marginal Edge in Pitching

The Baltimore Orioles have a marginal edge in starting pitching, however, the New York Yankees are being offered at a favorable price. The Yankees are outperforming the Orioles this season, showcasing stronger hitting and a more reliable bullpen. Although the Orioles are receiving increased acknowledgment from bookmakers this season, their performance has not matched previous years. Currently, Baltimore ranks as the third least profitable team for sports bettors in Major League Baseball, trailing only the White Sox and Rockies. In this matchup, I am inclined to support the Yankees as the likely winners.
