The numbers point strongly toward New York controlling this game. The pitching gap is significant, with Cam Schlittler delivering elite results through the early part of the season, including a 0.74 WHIP. On the other side, Shane Baz has been serviceable but vulnerable, particularly against power-hitting lineups like the Yankees. That difference becomes even more important given New York leads the league in home runs and slugging. I’ll go with New York to win this game and cover the runline at home to complete a four-game sweep of the Orioles.
