MLB Picks - Yankees at Orioles MLB Odds: The New York Yankees, the team with the best record in baseball,  will cruise into September by playing a three games series with maybe baseballs worst team, the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards in Baltimore with Monday's opener set for 7:05 pm ET. New York will start veteran lefthander Andy Pettitte in this game. Pettitte is 11-6 on the year with a 4.18 ERA. Countering for the Orioles is Jeremy Guthrie. The Baltimore righthander is 9-12 with a 5.26 ERA.

BetUS.com lists the Yankees as -175 moneyline favorites versus the Orioles with a 10-run total. Baltimore backers are getting +155 moneyline odds for the game.

Pettitte is undefeated in six starts since July 30, going 3-0 with a 2.60 ERA (38.0 innings, 11 earned runs) over that span. Pettitte last faced the Orioles on July 20 in New York, allowing one run over 7 1/3 innings with six hits, two walks and eight strikeouts in a no-decision.

Guthrie threw seven strong innings in his last start and has won consecutive outings for just the third time this season. The right-hander didn't walk any batters for the first time in 13 starts and for just the fourth time all year. Guthrie also didn't give up a home run for just the second time in 10 starts. He achieved that success in part by keeping his fastball low and working off his curveball.

The Yankees defeated the White Sox 8-3 as a -230 favorite on Sunday. The 11 runs scored went OVER the posted over/under total (11). Mark Teixeira homered and drove in four runs for New York and Johnny Damon hit a two-run home run in the win.

The Orioles defeated Cleveland 5-2 as a +100 underdog on Sunday. The seven runs scored fell UNDER the posted over/under total (9.5). Felix Pie hit a two-run home run for Baltimore and Brian Matusz allowed one run on four hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings in the win.
