Stephen Nover's MLB Monday Bookie Basher - 10-2 L12 Bookie Bashers
(MLB) Baltimore vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -110.00 Baltimore (Away)
Result: Loss
Domingo German is coming off a perfect game and pitching at home. Yet it's the Orioles who opened as a slight road favorite.

Surprised?

I'm not. I'm on the Orioles.

It's not just a case of fading German off his perfect game, which came against the A's this past Wednesday in Oakland. The Orioles have lost five fewer games than the Yankees this season. New York is 11-13 since losing reigning AL MLVP Aaron Judge to a toe injury.

I also believe Orioles starter Tyler Wells is better than German. Wells is way below-the-radar having given up two earned runs or fewer during his last six starts. Wells has recorded at least six strikeouts in eight of his last nine games and has a 0.88 WHIP.

German, despite his perfect game, is 5-5 with a 4.54 ERA. The spot isn't good for the Yankees returning home after six straight road games while playing their fourth game in three days having had to play a doubleheader against the Cardinals this past Saturday.
