Baltimore Orioles Daily: Rain pushes Yankees series opener to Friday

Thanks to another rainy day in Maryland, the Baltimore Orioles‘ series opener against the New York Yankees was postponed. The two sides will instead kick things off tonight at 7:05 p.m.

The Yankees may be in second place in the American League East, but they’re still one of the top teams in the league — nine of their 10 qualified players are having above-average seasons by adjusted OPS, with Neil Walker standing as the lone exception. Their pitching staff hasn’t been quite as good, but Luis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka and CC Sabathia give them a nice front three in the rotation, and closer Aroldis Chapman has been scary good.
