Mets Set to Dominate Orioles in Pitching Matchup as Holmes Shines Against Struggling Young

The New York Mets have recently demonstrated a strong turnaround from a challenging period last month, boasting a record of four wins in their last five games. In contrast, the Baltimore Orioles have displayed inconsistency throughout the season, particularly at home where they fall below the .500 mark. The upcoming pitching matchup favors the Mets, with Clay Holmes proving to be a reliable asset on the mound by limiting opponents to two or fewer runs in the majority of his recent appearances. Holmes has shown particular prowess against the Orioles, maintaining an impressive 1.11 ERA in 24.1 innings pitched against them. On the other hand, Orioles pitcher Brandon Young, a struggling rookie, has struggled to contain opponents, giving up three or more runs in each of his four starts this season and failing to pitch more than five innings in any outing.
