New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles betting breakdown
Yankees (-240), Orioles (+198)
Total: 10.0 runs
Jordan Montgomery (L) vs. Chris Ellis (R)
Three things to know
- The Yankees are playing with fire, with more late-game heroics Wednesday. Can they maintain this?

- The Orioles have ugly marks of only a .320 wOBA.
Best bets: The Yankees continue to bop the baseball and are now in a three-way tie for the Wild Card. Take them again.
Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays betting breakdown
Tigers (+184), Rays (-220)
Total: 8.5 runs
Tyler Alexander (L) vs. Dietrich Enns (L)
Three things to know

- The Tigers? They have been far worse, logging a .306 wOBA and 24.3% strikeout rate.
- Dietrich Enns is making his first start of the year, second of his career and first since 2017.
Best bets: It’s hard betting against the 90-win Rays. Peek at them for a F3/F5 bet.
Houston Astros at Texas Rangers betting breakdown
Astros (-220), Rangers (+184)
Total: 9.0 runs
Framber Valdez (L) vs. Glenn Otto (R)
Three things to know
- Framber Valdez lies among the league’s elite with a 69.2% ground-ball rate.
- Houston is cookin’ at the plate, logging a .343 wOBA and 18.5% strikeout rate in the last 30 days.
- The Rangers are woefully bad at the plate. They own a .312 wOBA and .148 ISO in the same time frame.
Best bets: This one could get ugly — take the ‘Stros in a F3/F5 bet. Also, some homer props could be a lot of fun as the Stros slugged plenty Wednesday.
