Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Yankees Series: Friday, July 28th to Sunday, July 30th, 2023
AL East Matchup
Starting Pitching Matchups:
Friday: Gerrit Cole (Yankees) at Grayson Rodriguez (Orioles)
The Yankees send their ace to the mound. The 32-year-old has been good again this season with 144 strikeouts. Cole is seeking his 10th win of the season, and has a low 2.78 earned run average. The right-hander has struck out 21 batters over his last two starts.
For Baltimore, Rodriguez remains in the rotation, despite some recent struggles. Before his last start, the 23-year-old had allowed 22 earned runs over his last 16.2 innings. His last start was better, keeping Tampa Bay off balance.
Saturday: Clarke Schmidt (Yankees) at Tyler Wells (Orioles)
Schmidt gets an extra day of rest to move Cole up a spot. The 27-year-old has not been all that bad, with a 6-6 record. He needs just 3 strikeouts to reach 100 on the season. He is coming off a decent outing against Kansas City on Friday, where he picked up the win.Tyler Wells is 7-5 on the season, with a 3.65 ERA. The 28-year-old has struggled since the All-Star Break, lasting just 6.1 innings, allowing a total of 8 earned runs. His last start against the Yankees wasn’t bad, as he got through 6 innings.
Sunday: Luis Severino (Yankees) vs. Dean Kremer (Orioles)
Severino has come back and really struggled to start his 2023 season. He has made 11 starts, and allowed 39 runs in 54 innings. The Royals pounded out 8 hits against him in his last start, but he picked up the win.
Kremer has turned into the good luck charm for Baltimore. He is 10-4, despite his 4.59 earned run average. Kremer has 104 strikeouts over 115 innings. The Orioles have won his last four starts.
Orioles Offense Getting the Job Done
The Baltimore Orioles are in first place, in arguably the best division in all of Major League Baseball. The biggest help has been the offense which has scored 502 runs on the season. The Orioles’ offense has scored just over 500 runs on the season, but in the last two losses, just 3.5 runs per game. Baltimore’s top offensive stars have been Austin Hayes, with a .292 batting average, and Anthony Santander, with 17 home runs and 55 runs batted in. Adley Rutschman has had a great season for Baltimore, as the team’s catcher. Rutschman has a .268 batting mark, and 13 home runs. Gunnar Henderson is also providing, as he is one of five guys on the roster with double figures in home runs.
Yankees Still Trying to Find Streak
The expectations were high for the New York Yankees to start the season, and despite their struggles, they are still in the race. A series sweep here in three games would put the division into a very interesting spot. The Yankees are under .500 at home, something they look to change in their final 35 home games. New York recently had a three-game winning streak, but that came directly after a four-game losing streak. The Yankees are 5-6 since the All-Star Break.
New York is still missing their slugger Aaron Judge, and despite all his missing time, still leads the team with 19 home runs. Gleybar Torres is the top hitter on the team with a .264 average, as he has 43 runs batted in. New York’s team batting average is 29th in all of Major League Baseball, at .230.
This should be a great series. It’s huge for the Yankees to have their ace going in the series opener. Look for them to get off to a great start, as the Yankees win this one, and ultimately two out of three at home over Baltimore.
