New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles: Will Warren vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
Briefly

The article highlights the unusual scheduling of the Yankees facing the Orioles for the first time in the season, underscoring both teams' challenges with starting pitching depth. The Yankees, currently in a stronger position, are managing their pitching issues better than the Orioles. Will Warren, despite a recent loss, has shown promise in his performances, while Tomoyuki Sugano’s higher FIP suggests vulnerabilities in his game. The Yankees will also shuffle their lineup as they address player fatigue and optimize their batting against the Orioles' pitching.
Both teams started the year as AL East contenders, yet only the Yankees seem to manage their starting pitching depth well, contributing to their standing in the division.
Warren has generally performed well despite a recent loss, showcasing his ability to limit runs, yet he suffered from a lack of offensive support.
Sugano has pitched into the seventh inning in his last two starts, but his 5.84 FIP indicates potential vulnerability against a powerful Yankees lineup.
With Ben Rice on an off day, the Yankees will see lineup shifts, including Paul Goldschmidt taking over at first to strengthen their offense.
