New York Yankees Predicted Batting Order
Manager Aaron Boone has done a great job implementing the newest members of the New York Yankees into the lineup.

- Josh Donaldson, 3B
- Joey Gallo, DH
- Aaron Judge, CF
- Giancarlo Stanton, RF
- DJ LeMahieu, 2B
- Aaron Hicks, LF

Baltimore Orioles Predicted Batting Order
The Orioles have been unable to leverage the offensive stars that returned to the lineup this year. Manager Brandon Hyde's only bright spot is right fielder Anthony Santander who owns a 1.276 OPS in the young campaign. Here is their lineup:
- Cedric Mullins, CF
- Ryan Mountcastle, DH
- Anthony Santander, RF
- Trey Mancini, 1B
- Austin Hays, LF
- Ramon Urias, 2B
- Chris Owings, SS
- Kelvin Gutierrez, 3B
- Robinson Chirinos, C
Reasons to buy Anthony Santander’s early season success:
Statcast is fire ✅
BB-K is 4-1 ✅
27 years old ✅
Batting 3rd most days ✅
Lost 10lbs in offseason ✅
Has flashed greatness in prior years ✅
Still free ✅
The stars are aligned
