The Baltimore Orioles are on fire after a three-game road sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. Now just 2.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in AL East standings, it is left to be seen if they can move past the Blue Jays.

MatchPlug Prediction
The Baltimore Orioles are 2-5 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP of lower than 1.15 and 39-80 in their last 119 games after an off day. Experts deduce that the Orioles will be flat in New York today, and with Cole on the mound, the home team may win by two or more runs.
Cole has been focused this season and besides ruining a six-run lead against the Buccaneers a few starts ago, he has controlled the mound adequately this season. The Yankees need a win to make a statement in this series. The best way to do that would be to give the ball to Gerrit.
New York which has a 16-12 run line record after a win, will emerge victors with an all-around solid in the series opener. They turned a corner in its recent away match and may bring that vibe to today’s game.
The Yankees are ridden with injuries and have underachieved this year. Baltimore is an exciting contender with a bright future, but can they compete with the best in the league for the whole season?
New York may step up today, offering Cole the much-needed support to break the Orioles’ wings.
