The Yankees are coming into this game with a 4-3 record overall and they are playing their 2nd road game of the season in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just tied their 4-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-2 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Saturday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Saturday with the series opener still to be played on Friday. Jordan Montgomery is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while Jameson Taillon will be on the mound for them here on Saturday. He is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA this season. His team lost his first game this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 6 Ks on 5 hits in 5 IP against the Toronto Blue Jays. They scored 11 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging just over 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Orioles are coming into this game with a 1-5 record overall and they are 1-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Saturday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Saturday with the series opener still to be played on Friday. Jordan Lyles is the starter for them on Friday while Tyler Wells will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Saturday. He is 0-1 with a 21.60 ERA this season. His team lost his first game this season with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 2 strikeouts on 3 hits through 1.2 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees are coming off of a tie in their series with the Blue Jays but they had some very good pitching in the games they won. The 2 games that they did win they did not even allow a single run in either and they have the better pitching matchup in this game as well. Taillon was not great in his first start but he was not bad either and he was nothing compared to how bad Wells was in his first start this season. The Yankees have been inconsistent with their hitting recently but they will be able to get hits in this game and it should result in a lot of runs for them. The Orioles are already off to another bad start this season and these are the kinds of teams that the Yankees need to be feasting on if they want to compete in their tough division this season. The best bet in this game is on the Yankees runline.

"That guy. He's a game-changer." - Aaron Judge on Vladdy after their loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday night.

 

 

"There's not a ton of concern. Honestly, I felt it last outing. I felt it on a curveball. Forearm started getting tight. I battled through it, and this week, it progressively got better throughout the week. I felt great in the bullpen and in the first two innings. In the third inning, I felt it again on a curveball. It was tight. I told them I could go back out there. I wanted to make sure." - John Means after their loss against the Brewers on Wednesday night.
