#Yankees vs. Orioles prediction: Desperation will fuel Bombers

He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother. … Dr. Matthew Laurens, a lead investigator at the University of Maryland School of Medicine warns that a COVID-19 vaccine will be ineffective on the obese. “Vaccines that have been tested in obese populations, these individuals, historically do not respond as well. … it’s a real issue.” Obese Lives Matter (OLM) is planning a protest.

Fifteen games to go. Will the Yankees be playing a 16th? Orioles are in The Bronx this weekend and as Apollo Creed would tell a lethargic Rocky Balboa, “THERE IS NO TOMORROW!” The O’s, a much improved team from last year’s version, will give Dean Kremer another start. Made his MLB debut last week against these same Yankees and held them to a run over six innings, striking out seven. Yanks’ Jordan Montgomery (2-2, 5.72 ERA) has made seven problematic starts this year, hasn’t won since Aug. 11 and would not be in the rotation were it not for numerous injuries. Believing the pitching matchup is overruled by desperation, we will back the Yanks for 10 units.

If the Jays ever go back to Toronto, the Mets should think about moving to Buffalo. Mets 18, Jays 1. DeGrom with enough run support to get him through his next 10 starts. Loss has us at -423 mulliniks.
