My Predictions:
Orioles = 6
Yankees = 9
Jared Wright will have trouble with his official debut pitching on an American League Roster... and he will see the effects as soon as he notices that the 9th batter is not a pitcher anymore.
Luckily for the Yankees, Ponson gives up a lot of homeruns, and since the Yankees are a homerun hitting team, we should see some long balls, and homerun trotting today.
This will be a game of who can score the most, and Hideki Matsui should add another homerun to his stat sheet today.
Player of the Game: Hideki Matsui
(3 for 6, 1 HR, 4 RBI's, 1 2B)
