When New York and Baltimore who are both members of the American League East began their four game series with the opening game on Monday April 26, 2021 in Baltimore Maryland they both had a record of 9-12!
Why?

When?
Last night!

Baltimore Maryland!

Domingo German is going to start for New York!
The right handed pitcher comes into the game with a record of 1-2 with an earn run average of 6.23!
Why?
Germán is coming off his first win since September 2019, having held the Indians to three runs (two earned) over six innings on April 22. Germán worked on his fastball command and recorded six strikeouts against one walk in Cleveland.
He is going to oppose Baltimore’s Dean Kremer who like him is a right handed pitcher!
Why?
Because Baltimore is planning on brining the right handed pitcher Dean Kremer back from their alternate training site to start Wednesday, one day beyond the 10-day minimum since Kremer was optioned after his April 17 start in Texas. The plan was always to recall Kremer when eligible, as the O’s looked to take advantage of two off-days by briefly operating with a four-man rotation. Dean Kremer is the number seven No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline, Kremer made the Opening Day rotation but struggled in each of his first three outings, going 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in just 10 2/3 innings. Kremer lasted only three innings in his season debut against the Yankees on April 6, but he pitched very well against New York in his first two career starts down the stretch in 2020.
But will Domingo German and Dean Kremer be able to start for New York and Baltimore or will mother nature get in the way?
I think they will be able to start!
Why?
Because there is a 5% chance of rain at first pitch with intermittent clounds
