Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees Prediction

I’ll try the Yankees in this one. Schmidt had a few bumpy spots in his last outing versus the A’s, posting 5.1 innings with three earned on four hits and two walks. Prior to that Schmidt had just two earned runs in 10.1 innings on 10 hits and five walks. As for Rodriguez, he needs a good bounce-back performance here. On April 23 versus the Angels, Rodriguez took the loss with seven earned on 11 hits and a walk in 4.1 frames.

On Sunday the Yankees got some great offensive performances across the board. Anthony Volpe (homer; two runs), Aaron Judge (homer; three hits) and Jose Trevino (two hits; run) each had three RBI. Anthony Rizzo went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs and two RBI of his own. Stroman had some issues in the fifth inning but outside of that the pitching wasn’t too bad. I like the Yankees to keep it going on Monday.
