In the Christmas edition of the Pinstripe Alley Mailbag, long time listener asked an interesting question regarding the Yankees’ propensity to hit home runs against the Orioles. “The Yankees play the Orioles 19 times next year,” he wrote. “I’m setting the over/under for number of home runs by Yankees batters at 47.5, an average of 2.5 per game. Are you taking the over or the under?”
I tried to give a fair answer, but also one that recognized the shallow depths of the O’s pitching staff.
The safe answer to this question says that we should wait to see how the Orioles’ offseason shakes up.
