The 2012 MLB regular season is well underway with a full month of baseball already in the books. It is still a long road to October baseball but paths are already starting to take shape and many surprises have already occurred along the way. The beginning of the year brings promise but at this point in the season anything can still happen.

The highlight of the day will be when the New York Yankees visit the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park in Baltimore, Md.

CC Sabathia (5-0, 3.51 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees facing off against the Orioles’ Wei-Yin Chen (3-0, 2.68 ERA). Sabathia was phenomenal in his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays earning 10 strikeouts and allowing no runs. Chen was impressive in his own right holding the powerful Texas Rangers offense to just two runs in 7 2/3 innings in his last start.

With a number of great games to be played on the day, this will be one of the better ones.

James Shields (5-0, 3.05 ERA) will take the mound for the Rays looking for his sixth win of the season facing off against Ivan Nova (3-1, 5.58 ERA) of the Yankees. In this bitter AL East rivalry game, Tampa Bay is battling it out with the surprisingly red-hot Baltimore Orioles for the top spot in the division while the Yankees are slowly working their way back into the fight.

Spring training is winding down and rosters are beginning to take shape. In less than two weeks, teams will return to their respective cities and begin the grueling process to October baseball.

Highlighting the matchups for Wednesday, March 28 is the New York Yankees at Atlanta Braves. The Yankees are traditionally one of the strongest teams in the American League and this year will be no different despite the fact they play in the strong AL East.

The Braves are another team big things are expected from this season. They will have a tough division schedule with the strong Philadelphia Phillies but also with the up-and-coming Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals. As both teams are putting the finishing touches on their opening day rosters, this game will surely be a battle.
