We know computers hate the Orioles, and national broadcasters hate the Orioles, but do the folks who make power polls/rankings hate the Orioles? An ugly week has led to a free-fall in rankings.
MLB.com drops the O’s to 12th, and that seems a bit high after last week.
The Nation’s Newspaper drops the O’s to 10th, the biggest drop of the week. “After six-game losing streak, a fairly key homestand against Yankees, Red Sox.”
Slideshow Central drops the O’s to 12th, a seven slot dive. And fully deserved.
Matt Synder already dropped the O’s to 14th last week, and this week, it’s 16th, officially in the bottom half of MLB.
