The New York Yankees were swept by Tampa, which isn't such a big surprise, as they have fared poorly their in recent trips. The fact that the Orioles are out of the gate is a bit surprising, but then again maybe not, as they began the 2011 season at 4-0. The Birds will go as far as their pitching will take them, and through the first three games, they haven’t given up a single run in the first seven innings. Ivan Nova gets the ball for the Yanks, but they have shown they don't trust the numbers despite a 16-4 campaign a year ago. Nova was demoted to the minors at mid-season, and the Yanks offered him in a deal over the winter. Nova had a tough spring, and has a lot of pressure here with the Yanks 0-3. The Yankees are not the same on the road, losing their last seven dating back to last year and are now 1-8 vs. the AL East. The O's are looking to build on a run that has seen them post a 12-5 mark in their last 17 as a dog. Play on Baltimore.
