This is a 7* on NY YANKEES

After losing the first game of the series, the Yankees have battled back to take the last two and can now get within a game of .500 by beating the Orioles again today. The last two days have seen Yankee hitters combine for six home runs in 5-1 and 7-0 victories. They are tied for the most home runs hit (30) among American League teams, so the long ball is definitely not a problem. It was just a matter of time before this high-price lineup got going. New York also got a solid outing last night from Domingo German as he went seven innings. We look for another solid effort on the mound today as Jordan Montgomery is set to start. He has a 3-1 team start record and a 1.05 WHIP. Baltimore batters are scuffling right now with only five runs scored in the entire series. In eight career starts against the Orioles, Montgomery holds a 3-1 record and 2.57 ERA. He’ll be opposed here by Jorge Lopez, who hasn’t looked very good in 2021. He’s yet to pitch more than five innings in any start and has already allowed six homers. In four previous starts vs. New York, Lopez’s ERA is 6.62. Baltimore isn’t going to be a good team this season, while the Yankees expect to contend for another AL East crown. Play on NY YANKEES
