The Orioles made a statement by winning their series against the Braves, but it only gets harder from here. The Birds’ next two series will pit them against the two best teams in baseball, the Phillies and Yankees. Fortunately, the Orioles themselves are the third best, so they’re better equipped than anyone to take the two behemoths down a peg.
First up is the Phillies, who head to Camden Yards for what’s sure to be an electric weekend of baseball. Saturday’s and Sunday’s games are already sellouts, thanks to the combination of a rejuvenated Orioles fan base along with what’s sure to be a sizable contingent of Phillies fans making the two-hour drive down I-95.
