MLB FREEBIE: 2* BAL/NYY OVER
The Orioles and Yanks open up a 4-game set tonight at the Stadium with Sidney Ponson facing off against Jose Contreras. The Yankees recovered nicely from their losing series at Fenway by taking 2 of 3 at SkyDome. They are over the total in 5 of their last 6 games.
This total is not based so much on the NY right-hander who has looked decent at times although not on Sunday in Boston where he gave up 8 runs in 5 innings of work. That added to an already bloated 6.32 ERA against the East.
This play is focused more on the arm of Ponson who is not only 1-7 on the road but also has a 7.21 ERA. The right-hander also has a 6.56 ERA against the East where the Orioles are over in 6 of those 8 games.
