Yankees at Cardinals picks and predictions
Cardinals 4, Yankees 2
Moneyline
BET CARDINALS (+110).
The Yankees have been abysmal on the road lately, dropping 5 of their last 6 away games. Gil was hammered in his lone road start this season, allowing 5 earned runs to the sub-.500 Miami Marlins Aug. 3.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals have won 3 of their last 6 at home. They have scored at least 3 runs in 9 of their last 11 games, so that consistency should help them come out on top Friday.
Back CARDINALS (+110).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
There's no great option on the run line. The Yankees -1.5 (+135) are too risky to consider as favorites, while the Cardinals +1.5 (-160) are slightly too expensive as underdogs.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 9 (-120).
Both teams are trending toward the Under here. The Cardinals are 2-5 O/U in their last 7 games. They have allowed 3 or fewer runs in 5 of those as well.
The Yankees are 2-5-1 O/U in their previous 8 games and are 54-62-5 O/U on the season. They have allowed 4 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 8 contests.
Back UNDER 9 (-120).

Baltimore Orioles' Brandon Young loses perfect game in heartbreaking fashion
Baltimore Orioles rookie Brandon Young was closing in on a perfect game, a feat that had the entire stadium on the edge of their seats. However, it was not to be as he lost it in a cruel fashion on Friday, Aug. 15, resulting in the Houston Astros' only hit in Baltimore's 7-0 victory at Daikin Park. In what was nearly eight flawless innings during his 11th career start, Young retired 23 Houston batters before allowing a two-out infield single in the eighth inning to Ramón Urías, a former Oriole who had been traded to the Astros. Urías hit a ground ball in Young's vicinity, and although Young quickly fielded the ball, he threw wide of first base. More: From nightmare to no problem: How workers in two cities handled Phillies' travel debacle The error allowed Urías to advance to second base, ending what could have been a perfect game. The play was ruled a hit, ending Young's no-hitter. 'I thought I could make the play,' Young said, according to 'I got there in time. I think I had a little more time to maybe take a step and make a better throw. I obviously rushed it, yanked it. It sucks. Definitely want it back.' Young got the final out of the inning and Baltimore's Yaramil Hiraldo pitched the ninth as Young picked up the first victory of his career in a familiar spot. Young grew up in Texas and had gone to the Houston stadium as a child. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Orioles rookie Brandon Young loses perfect game in cruel fashion
