The Yankees are within 1 game of the Rays for the second wild card spot just like that and they've returned to their old ways with 3 HR in back to back games against the Orioles. I like their chances a gain here tonight as I really like what Joe Girardi did with the line up having Alex Rodriguez in the #2 spot ahead of Soriano and Cano. Phil Hughes is also very under rated on the road and is fresh for this game. He's pitched well in Baltimore with a 3.06 ERA from 2010-2012 along with a good start and a bad start this year.

Wei-Yen Chen has a 5.29 ERA in 6 starts against the Yankees and the Yankees are scoring 5.46 runs per 9 vs. LHP in their last 10 games alone while the Orioles are stuck at just 3.42 vs. RHP. Yankees average is also 24 points higher. Yankees bullpen has struggled, but I think Hughes can give them 7 innings tonight of 3 or less ER and I think it will be enough to get a win.
