If you’re anything like me, then the remaining 2+ days between now and Opening Day can’t pass fast enough. While the luster of this Orioles team has faded somewhat thanks to offseason departures and a minor injury crisis, this is still a Baltimore squad with sky-high potential. Opening Day in Toronto is when the speculation begins to end and the play on the field starts to speak for itself.
The last two seasons, hot starts to the year laid the foundation that O’s ultimately turned into the first pair of consecutive playoff appearances in nearly 30 years. Across 2023 and 2024, Baltimore went 38-19 in March and April.
