New York Yankees Team Preview

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman

The Yankees are off to a decent start this season. They currently have a 3-2 win-loss card and have already beaten American League East favorites the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of their three-game series.

The most surprising thing about the team so far is the pitching crew. They are in the top three in team pitching metrics through five games this season. They have a 2.49 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 51 strikeouts as a team. If their rotation and bullpen manage to continue this streak, expect them to sweep the Baltimore Orioles.

Key Player - Anthony Rizzo

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo

Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo were tough picks. But we ultimately ended up choosing the latter. Rizzo is currently leading the Yankees in RBI with six. He also has a slash line of .250/.455/.688 with two home runs, three runs, and a double. With the Orioles pitching staff being one of the most hittable in baseball, expect Rizzo to rake in this series.

Baltimore Orioles Team Preview

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Things are going as planned for the Baltimore Orioles. And by that, we mean full rebuilding mode. The O's are dead last in the AL East with a 1-4 record at the time of writing. They did, however, pull off a shocking 2-0 win against National League powerhouse Milwaukee Brewers for their sole win of the season. We don't expect much from Baltimore in this series, especially considering how solid of a start the Yankees rotation has been so far.

Key Player - Cedric Mullins

Cedric Mullins became a part of the 30-30 club last season

2021 All-Star and Silver Slugger awardee Cedric Mullins could be considered the lone bright spot in this otherwise measly Baltimore offense. Mullins has a home run, six RBIs, five hits, and a stolen base in 21 at-bats this season.

"Cedric Mullins after receiving his silver slugger yesterday went out and had a great day. Their aren’t many bright spots on this roster but everything Mullins does is show stopping!" - @ Xavier Scruggs

Cedric is a star in the making, but he needs help in the batting order.

Baltimore Orioles Predicted Lineup

Starting Pitcher - Tyler Wells

1. Cedric Mullins, CF
2. Ryan Mountcastle, 1B
3. Anthony Santander, RF
4. Trey Mancini, DH
5. Ramon Urias, 3B
6. Rougned Odor, 2B
7. Austin Hays, LF

Yankees vs Orioles Match Prediction

The New York Yankees rotation has been stable thus far. Consequently, it will be a challenge for Baltimore's battery crew to generate some numbers. Yankees win, 4-0.
