We know computers hate the Orioles, and national broadcasters hate the Orioles, but do the folks who make power polls/rankings hate the Orioles? Not as much as they deserve, quite frankly.
MLB.com drops the O’s to 8th, and that’s feeling kind of generous at the moment.
The Nation’s Newspaper drops the O’s to 5th. “They've started "Beef" chants at Camden Yards for Welington Castillo, rolling along at .348/.375/.543.”
Slideshow Central leaves the Orioles in 5th, but I wouldn’t get too comfortable with that ranking unless the Orioles look a lot better this weekend against Houston.
