Yesterday’s Results for Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees

BIG AL's MLB DIVISION GAME OF THE MONTH!

Analysis: At 7:05 pm our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox ran crazy all over the Yankees on Sunday night — literally with nine stolen bases — to take the three-game series at Fenway. Now, New York comes back to the Bronx to face the AL East team which is breathing down its neck, in the Orioles. But it also comes home to some very good news, which is that Gerrit Cole will be making his season debut for the Pinstripes on Wednesday. That’s bad news for the rest of the American League as the starting rotation minus Cole has been one of the best — and healthiest — in the Majors throughout the first half. So adding him to the mix almost seems unfair. Tonight it will be Nestor Cortes making his 16th start of the season. The Cuban southpaw has been the most unlucky of the Yankee starters as, despite a 3.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, Cortes is just 3-5 in the won-lost column. But more important for tonight is the fact that the 29-year-old has pretty much owned the O's, going 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 10 career games -- eight starts -- against them. Take the Yankees. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
