A marathon run of games continues for the New York Yankees, who are looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they start a series against the Baltimore Orioles.

New York has owned the O’s for a decent stretch, going 9-1 over the last 10 head-to-head matchups. My Yankees vs. Orioles predictions and MLB picks for Monday, May 11 expect this trend to continue.

Who will win Yankees vs Orioles today: Yankees -1.5 (+102)

This looks like a "get right spot" for the New York Yankees, and I’d play the run line to -120 with an obvious pitching advantage. 

Baltimore Orioles hurler Brandon Young has a lot of room to grow. When he’s not inducing chase, he’s finding a lot of bats with a 42% hard-hit rate and slightly above average barrel rate. The Yankees enter this game with the fourth-lowest chase rate in baseball.

A pitcher who cannot generate swing-and-miss against a lineup that won't expand the zone has no path to surviving against a team with so much power. 

Covers COVERS INTEL: Young has no pitch outside of the fastball that is competitive, that’s best indicated by his Bottom 6th percentile off-speed run value.

Yankees vs Orioles Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-122)

The ball could be flying tonight. 

Young is a chase-reliant pitcher who won’t get much chase. This will cause him to throw competitive pitches, and his Bottom 30th percentile hard-hit rate will be exposed against one of the best power lineups in baseball.

That should do the heavy lifting for this total. I suspect the O’s can chip in some, too.

Ryan Weathers' 94th percentile breaking ball is a genuine weapon, but his 14th percentile barrel rate is a real liability against a Baltimore lineup that has enough pop. Play to 9.
