My Prediction
New York Yankees by 2Ah, New York Yankees strolling into the Oriole Park. You can already smell hot dogs, popcorn, and... the slight scent of despair from the Orioles crowd. Yes, the quite favored Yankees are starting Carlos Rodon, coming in with his respectable 3.57 ERA and a WHIP of 1.08 from this season's campaign.
Their batting lineup features home-run demolishers like Aaron Judge showing off with a significant 0.411 batting average, 27 RBIs and 8 homers, not to forget Paul Goldschmidt swinging a steady 0.375. Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisholm Jr. add some solid heft too.
Looking at the Orioles’ gate, you’ve got Kyle Gibson pitching, apparently Lazarus reincarnated this season with 0 appearances, but from the whispers of last season, we recall a 4.309 ERA. Oriole bats aren't looking too shabby with players like Ramon Urias hitting a 0.317 and Ryan O'Hearn swinging a 0.308 average, but they're no Yankees.
The past matchups have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride. The Orioles seem to sneak away with a one-run victory most of the time, just like the most recent one where they managed to get the better of the Yankees. Just remember, past performance isn't a crystal ball, folks.
The regular season records lean towards the Yankees militia with 17 wins to Orioles' 10.
For the recent results, looking like a mixed bag., but I've gotta say, folks, Yankees coming out on top with their recent performance and the stronger lineup. So, get your pretzels and foam fingers ready, this one is going to favor the boys in the navy pinstripes...and that's not just because the popcorn here is stale.
