Baltimore Orioles Team Preview
The Baltimore Orioles are in yet another year of rebuilding as they have been for the past five seasons. The Orioles are in last place in American League East and have one of the lowest payrolls in all of baseball.
One bright spot for the team so far has been outfielder Cedric Mullins. Mullins is batting .252 with five home runs and 16 RBIs. Mullins stole 30 bases and hit 30 home runs a season ago.
Shortstop Jorge Mateo and outfielder Anthony Santander are two young MLB players who have shown flashes of their potential. Mateo is one of the fastest players in baseball and also has power at the plate. Santander has hit seven home runs but is only batting .235. These are two players the Orioles can build around as they continue to progress in the big leagues.
Key Player: Cedric Mullins
Cedric Mullins is a key player for the Baltimore Orioles in this matchup at Yankee Stadium. The lefty power bat has the potential to have a big day at the plate with a short right-field fence at Yankee Stadium.

New York Yankees Team Preview
The Yankees are the best team in baseball. Between their loaded lineup, solid starting rotation, and the best bullpen in baseball, the Yankees look on their way to another postseason trip.
The team is looking to win its first championship since 2009. The Yankees team ERA of 2.86 is the best in the American League, and their offense is scoring close to five runs per game, which is the best in the American League as well. Overall, the Yankees are off to a great start and will look to continue their stellar play against a struggling Baltimore team.
Key Player: Aaron Judge
Aaron Judge is the best player in baseball right now and is a key player in this matchup. On the season, Judge is batting .307 with 14 home runs and 30 RBIs. Judge leads all of baseball in home runs. The last time the Orioles and Yankees faced one another, Aaron Judge hit two home runs at Camden Yards.
