Top Rated MLB *BIG HITTER*
(MLB) Baltimore vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -112.00 Baltimore (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: Baltimore Orioles
Rating: 10*

The Baltimore Orioles had won four in a row and six of seven before dropping a 5-2 decision Sunday at Tampa Bay. They remain two games ahead of the Red Sox in the division as the Yankees picked up a victory over the same Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball. Baltimore is 24-13 against division opponents this year while New York is 10-19. I like the O's to bounce back with a win Monday night.

Kevin Gausman (1-6, 4.15 ERA) takes the ball for Baltimore. He's held the Yankees to one run on 10 hits through 14 innings this year and he has the current Bronx Bombers limited to a .230 batting average over 135 at bats. Orioles are 5-2 in Gausman's last seven starts vs. Yankees.

Ivan Nova (6-5, 5.18 ERA) takes the ball for New York. He surrendered five runs on seven hits in six innings when he took on Baltimore on June 4. The current Orioles hitters are batting .303 over 234 at bats against the 29 year old. Mark Trumbo is 10-for-19 with a double and three homers.

Yankees are 1-7 in Nova's last eight home starts vs. a team with a winning record. Orioles are 5-2 in Gausman's last seven starts vs. a team with a losing record.
