This is a 10* play on the Baltimore Orioles.

The Orioles are just a game back of first place Boston in the AL East, and they are coming off back to back home wins over the Red Sox. They begin a new series at home tonight, hosting the Yankees who are 6.5 games back in the standings.

Nathan Eovaldi will toe the slab for the visitors, and he's a spectacular 6-0 in his last seven starts. His luck might be coming to an end tonight though, facing an Orioles team that has scored a total of 25 runs in it's last two home games. Baltimore has hit him hard in the past, with a combined .306 average over 49 at bats against him. Adam Jones hit a pair of home runs last night, and he's 3-for-9 lifetime versus Eovaldi.

The Orioles hand the ball to Chris Tillman, who is always solid at home. Tillman (7-1, 2.92 ERA) allowed four runs on four hits over six innings in a 6-4 win at Cleveland his last time out. He's 5-0 with a 2.04 ERA at home, and 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA against the Yankees this season.

Tillman is 4-2 with a 2.58 ERA in his last eight starts against the Yankees.

Take BAL.
