New York at Baltimore

New York has recovered from a slow start, which is not exactly a surprise, and the Yankees have won four of their past five games, although they do come off a 9-1 loss at Tampa Bay. Baltimore has lost five of six, including two straight to the Mets before an off day yesterday. The Yankees are 21-6 the past 27 meetings at Baltimore and 39-12 the past 51 meetings overall. The Orioles are 61-127 their past 188 home games and 32-84 overall in the first game of a series. Corey Kluber faced the Orioles once this season, and he allowed a run on six hits in 6 2/3 innings. Baltimore hitters are batting just .145 against Kluber in 33 at-bats. Dean Kremer is lucky to still be in the Orioles rotation as he has a current 9.49 ERA, and opposing hitters are batting .298 against him. Play the Yankees.
