Arguably the two best teams in the AL meet for the first time this week. Here's what we're most excited to see.
head to Baltimore to take on the Orioles in a four-game set, the two teams' first meeting of the season. Thecurrently sit one game behind the Yankees in the standings, and the two teams have the second- and third-best records in the AL . Ahead of the marquee matchup, we asked four of our MLB insiders -- all of whom have spent time with these teams this season -- to weigh in on the series, as well as what to expect from both squads this season.
Lots of electricity, but also lots of offense. The Orioles and Yankees are top two in the AL in OPS, runs and homers. The Orioles are especially lethal at home, and Judge, coming off a three-hit game in Milwaukee, might finally be turning a corner for a Yankees lineup that surprisingly hasn't needed him. These things are really tough to predict in this sport, but I think it's going to be a lot of scoring and a lot of lead-changes and a lot of fun. Let's hope.
: The Yankees need Judge to follow his 2022 script and work through his April struggles before a summer-long eruption -- and we've seen signs of that coming, with three home runs in his past five games. Look, at some point, Soto is going to slow down a bit and the rotation performance might dip, and the Yankees will need Judge to carry them for a stretch. He's shown that he's fully capable of doing that.
