Guess I understand why the Yankees are favored with Carlos Rodon looking very in form so far this season and it being the season debut of Kyle Bradish off injury for the Orioles. But Baltimore generally hammers lefties like Rodon as it ranks third in the majors in OPS vs. southpaws. Yanks closer Clay Holmes likely not available after pitching 1.2 innings last night.

Kyle Bradish makes his season debut today against a Yankees lineup that has scored just four runs in three games against the Orioles in this series. On the other side, Carlos Rodon has delivered an excellent 2.48 ERA thus far but does not seem to be the same dominant pitcher of past years, and I wonder if there's a blowup performance in his near future against a good offense like Baltimore's. With Baltimore having the much better record in non one-run games (17-7 vs. 12-9) and being the home team, I would expect them to be favored here even with an injured ace making his first MLB start of the season.
