Another week, another AL East divisional matchup in store for baseball fans. This time it is the Baltimore Orioles visiting the division-leading New York Yankees. The AL East has consistently been one of the most difficult and competitive divisions in the MLB for years now, and 2024 is no exception. Both of the ball clubs competing on Thursday have championship aspirations and have looked the part as we head into the dog days of summer. Gerrit Cole is making his first start of the year in this game after dealing with elbow inflammation for the first 3 months. It has been a spring to forget for MLB aces around the country, with many out due to injury or struggling to justify their massive price tags. Cade Povich will get the start on the other side of the diamond, a 24-year-old who has been described as an “unbelievable talent” by Baltmore’s coaching staff.
