The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The Yankees come into this game with a 64-30 record overall and they lost two straight games against the Houston Astros. In the second game of the doubleheader on Thursday, they tried to make the comeback late, but it wasn’t enough as they were defeated 7-5. The Yankees are averaging 5.36 runs per game which is top in baseball and the pitching staff is ranked second in the league. This is a big series for both teams, and the Yankees are going to need good pitching in this series.
The Orioles come into this game with a 46-46 record overall and after a slow start to the season, they are in the thick of the playoff race, something that not many expected. In the last series against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Orioles had a little setback losing two of the three games against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles pitching has been the strength this season giving up 4.27 runs per game. Austin Hays, Ryan Mountcastle, and Anthony Santder have all driven in 46 RBIs.
