Baltimore Orioles Preview
This season, the Baltimore Orioles are looking toward the future. The team is in the cellar of the American League East, and there is little indication things will change. Currently, the roster is filled with young players trying to earn a roster spot and be viewed as a potential cornerstone to build around. Meanwhile, veterans of the club are auditioning for potential new teams who may look to acquire them as the trade deadline nears. The Orioles own a dismal 5-14 record on the road.
Key Player - Adley Rutschman
The young catcher and MLB top prospect made his Major League debut this weekend to a standing ovation against the Tampa Bay Rays. Rutschman got to work out some of his rookie jitters in front of an adoring home crowd who view him as Baltimore's version of San Francisco Giants legend Buster Posey. He got his first hit out of the way after ripping a triple, the most uncommon hit for a big league catcher. He represents the bright potential of the Baltimore Orioles.

He will have a monumental task ahead of him as he looks toward the bright lights of Yankee Stadium and one of the most hostile environments in Major League Baseball.
Baltimore Orioles Predicted Lineup:
New York Yankees Preview:
The New York Yankees are quite simply, the best team in baseball. They may not be the most balanced; however, their strengths are so dramatically overpowering that it renders their shortcomings virtually irrelevant. The club has won more games at home than their opponent has all season, boasting a 15-6 record at Yankee Stadium.
Key Player - Giancarlo Stanton
The prolific power of the Greek god of mashing, known as Giancarlo Stanton, has pulverized baseballs to the tune of 11 home runs and parades a slugging percentage of nearly .700 in the month of May. While his physique may indicate he is chisled out of marble from the great sculptor Michaelangelo, his exit velocity would point to his bat being made of metals such as aluminum or steel as opposed to wooden materials like pine or oak. Giancarlo Stanton will enter the series leading the American League (and MLB) in runs batted in. He is the only player in the top five with outfield experience to do so.

Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees Prediction
Whatever the spread is, bet the Yankees. The club is simply too powerful to lose to the Orioles, especially at home. Expect Stanton to have multiple hits with triple digit exit velocity and the Yankees to run away with it easily by a score of 8-3. Bolt prediction? The rookie Baltimore Orioles catcher hits his first home run in the bright lights of the Bronx, showing Orioles fans everywhere that he won't shy away from big moments.
