The Yankees are coming into this game with a 3-3 record overall and they are playing their first road game of the season in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Friday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday night with the series finale of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays still to be played on Thursday night. Luis Severino is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Jordan Montgomery will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 0-0 with a 8.10 ERA this season. His team lost his first game this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 4 Ks on 4 hits in 3.1 IP against the Boston Red Sox. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Orioles are coming into this game with a 1-5 record overall and they are 1-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Friday night. John Means was the starter for them on Wednesday while Jordan Lyles will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Friday. He is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA this season. His team lost his first game this season with him as the starter. In his last game, he allowed 5 earned runs, 1 homer, and 3 BB with 2 strikeouts on 7 hits through 5 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees have been off to a very inconsistent start this season. They won their first series against the Red Sox but they trailed at the start in all of those games and now they find themselves down 2-1 in a series at home to the Blue Jays with the last game pending but they have not been pitching very well in these games. Gerrit Cole has not been his best this season and behind him, their pitching rotation is very vulnerable and not filled with a whole lot of talent. Montgomery had an awful first start this season and he is back on the mound here and will likely have a better day as they are going up against the Orioles who have only won 1 game through 6 to start the season. The Orioles have Lyles on the mound and he also had an awful start already as well. Both of these teams have had very bad pitching to start the season already, especially from these two, but they have both also struggled to hit the ball well this season. The Orioles put up a very good fight against the Brewers in all 3 of their games and the Yankees have been struggling heavily against the Blue Jays. With the current circumstances, the Yankees are a massive favorite but do not deserve to be with how they have been playing so the value in this game is on the Orioles runline as they have a chance to get another win here.

"Did you see the night? If you had a cap, you'd tip it, too. It got better after that, too. My goodness." - Gerrit Cole on Vladdy in their loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday night.

 

 

"There's not a ton of concern. Honestly, I felt it last outing. I felt it on a curveball. Forearm started getting tight. I battled through it, and this week, it progressively got better throughout the week. I felt great in the bullpen and in the first two innings. In the third inning, I felt it again on a curveball. It was tight. I told them I could go back out there. I wanted to make sure." - John Means after their loss against the Brewers on Wednesday night.
