Why This Decisive Game Could Make or Break the Yankees’ Season—And No One Saw It Coming
The Orioles were on the other end of that new piece of Yankees history. Baltimore has struggled this season. For two years, they looked great and the future looked good. However, this has been a tough start to the season with the team having an 11-18 record for the year. They are just 6-7 at home, and 5-11 on the road, so it isn’t like they can claim a rough start in one situation over another. Their offense and their bullpen – both calling cards of their success over the past couple of seasons have disappeared. The bullpen is one of the worst in the league, and the offense is near the bottom. They’ve lost four of their past five games and could really use this one as a boost in order to claim a series victory over a divisional foe. Cade Povich is just 1-2 for the season with a 5.04 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP. Povich is probably pitching a bit better than his numbers indicate. His worst game was against the Reds when he allowed seven earned runs over 3.1 innings. Outside of that start, he has allowed seven earned runs in 21.2 innings. Yankees hitters have only faced Povich in 10 at-bats but Aaron Judge is 1-for-1 with a homer, and Anthony Volpe is 2-for-4.Â
