Why you should back the Yankees
The Yankees will be riding high coming off their win on Monday. It was their fourth win in the last six games and the victory gives the Yankees a 4-3 advantage in the season series against their division rivals. New York was down 3-2 heading into its half of the seventh but managed a run to tie and then Harrison Bader launched a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to secure the win.
Anthony Volpe also went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in the win. Meanwhile, the bullpen threw 4 2/3 innings of scoreless ball, surrendering only three hits and striking out six. The Yankees lead the MLB in team bullpen ERA (2.83) on the season and a trustworthy pen will continue to be critical throughout their playoff chase. See which team to back here.
Why you should back the Orioles
Baltimore is one of the MLB's fastest-rising franchises. After losing 110 games just two seasons ago, the Orioles managed 83 wins in 2022 and are now 15 games above .500 as we hurdle toward the MLB all-star break. They'll hand the ball to the team's most experienced starter in Gibson on Tuesday.
The 2021 AL All-Star is coming off a couple of rocky starts that saw his ERA jump from 3.94 to 4.66 but he's managed eight quality starts this season, including seven scoreless innings in a win over the Yankees on May 25. He also has a 3.21 career ERA over five starts at Yankee Stadium. See which team to back here.
