Should Yankees already be panicking about upstart Baltimore Orioles?

The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles are in the middle of a four-game set, the first meeting of the two AL East rivals this season. Reigning division champion Baltimore took the first two and now holds a one-game lead over the second-place Yankees.

And cue Yankees fans immediately panicking. Baltimore has a great young pitching staff plus veteran Corbin Burnes, who pitches Wednesday night, and has also hit the most home runs as a team. Most notably, as Brendan Kuty wrote in The Athletic, the Orioles fans have returned to Camden Yards, no longer “Yankee Stadium South.
