As a former sports statistician, I can’t help but delve into the numbers to uncover insights for this upcoming Orioles vs. Yankees game. Both teams have been performing well recently, with Baltimore boasting an impressive 48-25 record and New York not far behind at 51-25.

On the mound, we have two talented pitchers set to face off. The Orioles will rely on Cole Irvin, who has a solid 6-3 record and a 3.1 ERA. On the other side, the Yankees will send Luis Gil to pitch, who has been even more dominant with a 9-1 record and a stellar 2.0 ERA.

The Orioles are averaging 5.114 runs, 8.557 hits, and 4.971 RBIs with a .244 batting average and a 74.597% on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS). Meanwhile, the Yankees are scoring slightly fewer runs at 5.11 per game but have a higher batting average of .25 and OPS of 75.956%.

In their most recent matchups, both teams have shown their ability to put runs on the board with high-scoring games that went over the total set by oddsmakers.
