Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees 5/23/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

AL East Division foes will clash on Monday night, when the Baltimore Orioles invade the Bronx to face the New York Yankees. The Orioles (17-25) have dropped 14 of their first 19 road games and are sitting in last place. On Sunday, Baltimore scored two runs in the ninth inning and scratched a run across in the 11th inning of a 7-6 home victory versus Tampa Bay.

Thirty-one year old righty Jordan Lyles (2-4 4.11 ERA) will head to the hill for the Orioles in this contest. Baltimore has lost Lyles’ last three starts and he has surrendered 11 runs (8 ER) over his last 20 innings.

The New York Yankees have won 15 of their first 21 home games and own the best overall record in the majors. In the first game of yesterday's doubleheader, New York OF Aaron Judge hit his major league leading 15th home run during a 3-1 home loss. In the nightcap, the Yankees (29-12) managed just three hits and struck out seven times during a 5-0 defeat.

New York manager Aaron Boone will give the nod to dominant right-hander Gerrit Cole (4-0 2.89 ERA) on Monday. The Yankees have won Cole’s last five starts and he has allowed just six runs total over that stretch.
