New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles 5/16/21 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Beautiful Camden Yards will play host to a Sunday afternoon clash between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. Last night, OF Aaron Judge crushed a two-run home run in the second inning to power New York to an 8-2 road victory against Baltimore. SP Domingo German (3-2) allowed one run over six innings to earn the win for the Yankees (22-17).

Twenty-eight year old lefty Jordan Montgomery (2-1 3.96 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees in this matchup. New York has won Montgomery’s last two starts and he has allowed four runs over his last 12 innings of work.

The Baltimore Orioles have dropped 15 of their first 20 home games and are sitting in last place in the AL East Division standings. On Saturday, Baltimore SP Jorge Lopez (1-4) gave up five runs (4 ER) and recorded just six outs. The Orioles (16-23) went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and struck out seven times.

The Orioles will counter with talented left-hander John Means (4-0 1.21 ERA) in the series finale. Means has already tossed a no-hitter this season and owns a 0.71 WHIP through 52 innings.
