Yankees Out to Finish Off Orioles for AL East Title

One year after missing the playoffs, the New York Yankees are on the brink of clinching the American League East title. The Yankees will get their first opportunity to secure the division crown on Tuesday night when they host the Baltimore Orioles in the opener of a three-game series.

With a win, the Yankees (92-64) can lock up their second AL East title in three seasons. Meanwhile, the Orioles (86-70) are still in the mix for a wild-card spot and can clinch the AL’s top wild-card position with a victory and a loss by either the Kansas City Royals or the Minnesota Twins.

Yankees Eye First AL East Title Since 2021

The Yankees enter their final homestand with a six-game lead over the Orioles, and their magic number to clinch the division is just one. New York has been in control of the AL East standings for most of the second half of the season, holding the division lead since Sept. 7 and for all but four days since Aug. 20.

The Yankees have been hot lately, winning 12 of their last 16 games after a series loss to the Texas Rangers earlier in September. After clinching a playoff spot last Wednesday, they followed up with a 5-1 road trip, sweeping the Oakland Athletics over the weekend and scoring 17 runs in their final two games.

“We’re focused,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Everyone in that room knows what’s at stake and what the mission is… guys are just ready to do what we’ve got to do to win ballgames and give ourselves a chance come October.”

Judge and Yankees Offense Rolling

Aaron Judge continues to lead the charge for the Yankees, hitting his major league-leading 55th home run in Sunday’s 7-4 victory over Oakland. Judge has been on fire recently, batting .349 (15-for-43) over his past 13 games. In addition to Judge, Jasson Dominguez and Gleyber Torres also homered in Sunday’s win, as the Yankees look to lock up the best record in the AL, currently holding a 2 1/2-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians.

“It’s going to be rocking,” Judge said of the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium as the season comes to a close. “It’s been rocking all summer long, and I don’t expect that to change, especially with what we have coming down to the wire here.”

Orioles Struggling as Postseason Hopes Hang in the Balance

While the Orioles still have a shot at the playoffs, they’ve struggled down the stretch after leading the AL East earlier in the season. Baltimore held the division lead for much of the summer, including as recently as Sept. 6 after a 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

However, since then, the Orioles are 4-10, struggling offensively and failing to score more than three runs in nine of those games. On Sunday, Baltimore went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and struck out 10 times in a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

“We just have to focus on what is going on in here, in this clubhouse,” Orioles All-Star infielder Jordan Westburg said, downplaying outside distractions. “We just have to stay tight in here.”

Schmidt and Kremer Set for the Mound

Clarke Schmidt (5-4, 2.37 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees in his fourth start since returning from a three-month absence due to a lat strain. Schmidt took the loss last Thursday in Seattle, allowing three runs (one earned) in five innings. He has a 3.86 ERA in 10 career outings (five starts) against the Orioles, including one run allowed in 5 2/3 innings during an April start in Baltimore.

For the Orioles, Dean Kremer (7-10, 4.19 ERA) will start. Kremer is coming off a loss to the San Francisco Giants last Wednesday, where he allowed five runs (four earned) in six innings. Kremer has a 4.63 ERA in 11 career starts against the Yankees.
