This is a Free #MLB play on the Baltimore #Orioles.

The Orioles are just a half game back of first place Boston in the AL East, and they host the last place Yankees in Game 1 of a home series Tuesday. New York comes in as losers of five straight, and they have lost 20 of their last 27 at Camden Yards.

Chris Tillman will toe the slab for the O's, and he's coming off a dominant performance. Tillman (2-1, 3.24 ERA) blanked the Rays through 6 2/3 innings, giving up just two hits while fanning nine in a 3-1 win at Tampa. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA in his last six home starts versus the Yankees.

New York will counter with 22 year old right-hander Luis Severino, who is still looking for his first victory. Severino (0-3, 6.86 ERA) was torched for six runs on seven hits and two walks in just three innings in a loss at Texas his last time out. As bad as he's been, he's been far worse on the road, going 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA in losses to Texas and Detroit.

The Orioles are 8-3 in Tillman's last 11 starts versus the Yankees.

Take BAL.
