The Orioles are coming off a win as the disposed of the Chicago White Sox on Sunday thanks to a big time performance from Gregg Zaun and consistent pitching from Jeremy Guthrie. However they will be in for a much bigger test against the Yankees who are looking to move into top spot in the AL East. The Yankees should be able to put aside the Orioles and extend their winning streak to a healthy number. If the Orioles lose a few games then they might cement their place in the bottom of the division for the rest of the year.

On Monday July 20^th the Orioles will send out young David Hernandez to try and curb the Yankees offence. The Yankees will look to veteran Andy Pettitte who has been quite inconsistent on the season.
