The New York Yankees disposed of the Baltimore Orioles yesterday, 6-3, which isn’t a difficult thing to do when you’re playing the worst team in baseball. Today the two teams will meet again in the Bronx for a matinee when they conclude a short 2-game set. The Orioles are expected to have Alex Cobb tap the rubber and his year has been a disaster. He is 2-14, with a 6.08 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP, and Baltimore is 3-16 in his last 19 starts. The Yanks’ Sonny Gray took a line drive off his pitching hand in his last turn but is expected to get the start today. He is 8-7, with a 5.08 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, and is starting to deliver like New York thought he would. Gray is 3-0 in his last 3 turns, with a nasty ERA of 1.10, a 0.92 WHIP, and has been an Orioles killer this season, going 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA. The Yankees open a 4-game set on Thursday against the Red Sox at Fenway so they had better win today.
