Games of the Day

The Orioles head north to New York to take on the first place Yankees in an AL East battle. Dylan Bundy faces Jordan Montgomery. Last season, Bundy made four appearances against the Yankees, showing little control. He walked eight batters in 13 1/3 innings. In his first start this season against New York, he allowed just one walk in seven innings. Montgomery mostly pitches better at home, with a higher strikeout rate and a lower walk rate. Four of the five home runs he allowed came at home, however, leading to a higher ERA at Yankee Stadium than away.

Toronto and Seattle try to climb back into their division races with Joe Biagini taking on Sam Gaviglio. Biagini’s record and ERA do not match his opposition batting statistics. He allowed an excellent .216/.264/.308 slash line, but his record stands at 1-4 with a 3.31 ERA. He has allowed a .341 BA with runners in scoring position. Early in his rookie year, Gaviglio shows a reverse platoon advantage. Left-handed batters and hitting .167 against the righty, while right-handed batters come in at .306. The LHB have seen five of the six hits they collect go for extra bases.

Enjoy!
