Let's start with the mound.
This is often where these games are won or lost.
Who do you think gets the nod for Baltimore tonight? With Kyle Bradish and Shane Bieber both out long term, the rotation options are limited.
It has to be Chris Bassett.
And Young hasn't shown that consistent strikeout stuff yet.
Bassett knows how to navigate lineups.
He's faced the Yankees plenty.
The question isn't whether he can pitch.
It's whether he can go deep enough into the game to save the bullpen.
And the Yankees? Garrett Cole is likely on the mound for them, given the stakes.
If Bassett goes toe-to-toe with Cole, we are looking at a pitcher's duel.
Do you see high scoring, or is this going to be a grind?
I see a grind.
Cole thrives in high leverage situations.
He changes speeds effectively.
Bassett needs to keep his launch angle low.
If he tries to pull the ball early in the count, Cole will hang a slider or a cutter right over the plate.
It's going to be a battle of plate discipline.
Whoever makes the first mistake loses.
That makes sense.
If the Orioles' offense sits back and waits, they might struggle to generate quality contact against a guy like Cole.
But if they swing at the first pitch, they're toast.
What about the relief core? If the starter doesn't go seven innings, who closes this out?
