The Orioles finish their road trip this weekend with a three-game series against the first-place New York Yankees. This will be the second time the Orioles see the Yankees this season; back in April, the Orioles took two out of three but were outscored 22-12. The two wins were of the one-run variety and the loss was a 15-3 beatdown.
The Yankees’ 43 wins are the least of any division leader (tied with the Astros) and they hold just a slim two-game lead over the Rays. That’s the smallest lead in the American League. They are coming off of two bad series where they got swept by the Red Sox and lost three out of four to the Angels.
