The Yankees are entering this series off a loss and lost their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 50-24 record overall and have a home record of 22-10. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Tuesday and they have Monday off as a day of rest.

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have looked really good in their games this season with their 47-24 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East and right behind the Yankees. They have also looked great in their road games with their 22-10 road record. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked great in their games this season with their 50-24 record overall which has them leading the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their home games with their 22-10 home record. The Orioles have more momentum on their side coming into this series though. The Orioles just won their series against the red hot Phillies, the best team in the NL right now, while the Yankees lost their series over the weekend against a middle of the pack Red Sox team. This is a big series for the Orioles to catch the Yankees in 1st place and they have a solid starter in Suarez on the mound here. He is 3-0 with a 1.61 ERA and has not been giving up many runs at all this season. He gave up no runs in his last start again and the team has won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting. The Orioles have the advantage with him since the Yankees are going with Cortes in this game, and as good as he has been, he has still been a weak spot in the Yankees rotation. He is 3-5 with a 3.59 ERA this season. He gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 in a row with him starting. The Orioles have an offense just as good as the Yankees do and they have more momentum coming into this series off that series win against the Phillies. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

“I think that Gunnar's (nine-pitch) leadoff AB honestly kind of gave everyone else the blueprint. He was in the zone. Gunnar was fouling off pitches and then got one in the heart and hit it out." - Colton Cowser after their win against the Phillies in their game on Sunday.

“The initial imaging ... which is a low-grade X-Ray, was negative, but he's in some pain in that lower arm in a number of places. He'll get a lot of tests (Monday) and see what we're dealing with. When he didn't get up right away, I could tell he was in some pain.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Red Sox in their game on Sunday.
