New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles

BALTIMORE (Interstat) — The New York Yankees will look to continue their recent dominance over the Baltimore Orioles when the American League East rivals meet Saturday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

The Yankees (86-67) have won five of their last six games against the Orioles (72-81), including a 7-0 victory on Thursday. New York’s pitching staff has been particularly stifling, shutting out Baltimore twice in the last three head-to-head meetings. In Thursday’s win, starter Max Fried was dominant, striking out 13 over seven scoreless innings, while Amed Rosario drove in two runs.

New York has been inconsistent over the past two weeks, alternating between potent offensive outbursts and quiet losses. They are coming off a 10-9 win over Minnesota on Tuesday before being shut out 7-0 by the Twins the following day.

The Orioles, meanwhile, have struggled to find consistency all season. They arrive at the game having lost three of their last five, including the shutout loss to the Yankees. Prior to that, they took two of three from the Chicago White Sox. In Thursday’s loss, starter Cade Povich took the decision, allowing three earned runs over five innings.

A statistical projection from Interstat anticipates a high-scoring affair, forecasting a narrow 7-6 victory for the Yankees.

Following Saturday’s contest, the teams will conclude their three-game series in Baltimore on Sunday before meeting again for another three-game set in New York next weekend to close out the regular season.
