Nick, yesterday we talked about Chris Bassett potentially starting, but now we have to look at who is actually on the mound for this elimination-style game against the Yankees.
The Yankees are coming off a 6-3 win on Friday night.
Right.
We have Trevor Rodgers and Brandon Young available in the rotation alongside Chris Bassett and Shane Bassett.
So if we're picking a probable, who do you see getting the call? The Yankees have Clark Schmidt on the 15-day IL, which opens up some spots for them, too.
He's been solid when healthy.
And facing a Yankees lineup that's missing Aaron Judge on the 10-day IL gives us a slight edge in terms of offensive firepower compared to their usual lineup.
That's a good point.
Even without Judge, the Yankees still have Pete Alonso going the other way, and he's hot.
He homered twice in that doubleheader opener to reach 43 home runs.
Exactly.
43 is a huge number.
But defensively, the Orioles need Baz to keep the ball in the park.
If he can limit extra base hits, he has a chance to hold the Yankees to a low score.
What about the Yankees rotation? With Schmidt out, do they go with someone like Garrett Cole or bring up a minor leaguer?
The brief doesn't list anyone else explicitly, but usually they'll lean on their ace.
If Cole starts, it's a tougher battle for the Orioles.
But remember, Giancarlo Stanton is on a 60-day IL, so the middle of their order is weakened.
Stanton being out is a big deal for their power numbers.
So, if Bass pitches well, the Orioles have a real shot to even the series or win the finale.
