But could mother nature mess up Corey Kluber’s start verses his former team in Bronx New York?

New York who is a member of the American League East comes into the game with a record of 82-65 and is 0.5 games back in the Wild Card standings.

Because they lost the finale 3-2 to Baltimore last night in Baltimore Maryland after winning the first two games of the series.
Why?
Joey Gallo who put New York on the scoreboard in the second inning flied out to center field with the bases loaded to end the inning.
Then the flyout came back to bite the offense in the ninth, when the O’s plated the game-tying run on a single and a pair of wild pitches to send the game to extras. An Austin Hays walk-off single in the 10th gave Baltimore the win.
