NY Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
I’ll stick with the Orioles in this one. Suarez is pitching well over his last three starts. He’s given up just three earned on 13 hits and six walks over 15.1 innings total in that trio. Suarez should be able to keep his quality start streak going here. As for Cortes, he’s given up nine earned over his last 16.2 innings, going 0-1 in three starts.
Baltimore’s offense is doing quite well these days. They’ve scored three or more runs in 11 straight games. New York has given up 17 runs in their last two games alone, so the O’s will have plenty of opportunities Tuesday if the Yankees can’t get their pitching together.
