Baltimore Orioles at NY Yankees 9/13/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

AL East Division foes will battle on Sunday afternoon, when the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees wrap up their series from the Bronx. On Saturday, Baltimore managed just three hits and struck out 12 times during a 2-1 loss in ten innings. Ryan Mountcastle drove in the only run with a single for the Orioles, who fell five games below .500 overall.

Talented left-hander John Means (1-3 6.58 ERA) has taken a step back this season for the Orioles. In his last start, Means allowed three hits and one run in six innings during an 11-2 road victory against the New York Mets.

The New York Yankees have won 17 of their 24 home games and will be dangerous when they get back to full health. On Saturday, New York SP Jordan Montgomery struck out nine batters in five plus innings and did not factor in the decision. Luke Voit’s sacrifice fly scored D.J. LaMahieu with the winning run for the Yankees (25-21), who have won four straight. 

New York manager Aaron Boone will give turn to veteran left-hander J.A. Happ (1-2 4.31 ERA) in the series finale. Last time out, Happ struck out ten batters and gave up two runs in six plus innings during a 2-1 loss at Toronto.
