Dan Behringer, Las Vegas Review-Journal, 8-13-1 (overall record)

Today's best bet: Baltimore Orioles-NEW YORK YANKEES (Over 10)

Two pitchers with high ERAs and lineups with offensive firepower should translate to enough runs to push this over the total. The Yankees' Phil Hughes (16.50 ERA) is off to a poor start, while Orioles right-hander Jake Arrieta is not much better with an 8.68 ERA. Baltimore has added run producers to its lineup with the likes of Vladimir Guerrero, Derrek Lee and Mark Reynolds.
