Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Yankees Preview - June 1st

The first day of June marks the beginning of another month of Yankees perceived dominance of the American League's East division. They will undoubtedly have one of their easier opponents to play on Tuesday in the Baltimore Orioles. While Baltimore has shown glimpses of improvement this season, there have been times where they just have had some head-shaking moments. Without any consistency, the Orioles have struggled to be considered relevant in the A.L. East so far this year. betsfreebets.com is willing to bet on the fact that the Yankees will see this series as one that could ultimately separate themselves from other divisional contenders, which is why the New York Yankees are the free wager selection for the Tuesday night game between Baltimore and New York. Pitching for the Orioles will be Brian Matusz. Matusz has struggled to find the right pitch so far this season, as his fastball just does not have the velocity that it once did. This explains the lack of efficiency and consistency that have accompanied his 2-5 record with a 5.76 ERA. While Matusz tries to get himself together on the mound, the bullpen has actually been one of the bright spots this season for Baltimore. Will Ohman, Jason Berken, and Alfredo Simon have been impressive in their relief work this season, and Simon looks as thought he has the potential to be the longterm closer for the Orioles. Baltimore has not only had difficulties with their starting rotation, their plate appearances, as of late, have left something to be desired. Save for Ty Wigginton and Nick Markakis, there really is no one that would make you believe that the Orioles have a good lineup. With Matusz on the mound and the bats of the Orioles cooling off, it seems as though the free bet would be a winner if put on the New York Yankees. Javier Vazquez has been an enigma so far this season, as his pitching has not lived up to the Yankees' high expectations that they had upon signing him this past summer. With his 6.86 ERA, he has the highest ERA amongst the starters by at least 2.5 earned runs per game. The Baltimore lineup, however, provides Vazquez with the perfect opportunity to work out the kinks in his arm release and recognize the level of success that both he and his organization expect out of him. Robinson Cano is quickly becoming the Yankees go-to player in clutch situations of ball games. For the season, Cano is hitting .362 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI. Cano is not the only individual that is responsible for the Yankees level of success this season. Bettors also have guys like Nick Swisher, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada to thank for making them a great deal of money so far this season. The Yankees just have too many weapons for the Orioles to be competitive in this baseball game. Expecting to see a blowout, the free wager should be placed on the New York Yankees. Even though Vazquez has struggled this season for the Yankees, the Orioles lack the hitting that will truly challenge the Yankees in this game. betsfreebets.com just does not believe that the Orioles have the talent to compete on the same level with the Yankees, which is why the free bet will be placed on New York.
