Why Yankees-Orioles is the week's biggest MLB series

The battle for the American League East starts now! This week, the New York Yankees head to Baltimore to take on the Orioles in a four-game set, the two teams' first meeting of the season. The Baltimore Orioles currently sit one game behind the Yankees in the standings, and the two teams have the second- and third-best records in the AL (only the Atlanta Braves have a better pace in the National League). Ahead of the marquee matchup, we asked four of our MLB insiders -- all of whom have spent time with these teams this season -- to weigh in on the series, as well as what to expect from both squads this season.
