If it feels like the Orioles just played the Rays, that’s because they did. Exactly one week ago the Rays came to Baltimore for a three-game series that the Orioles took two games to one. When that series ended, the Orioles went to Toronto to split four games with the Blue Jays. The Rays in the meantime played just two games, sandwiching a short-series sweep of the Miami Marlins between two off days.
Now the Orioles head down to Florida for a four-game road series that starts on Friday and ends on Monday. Which is just weird. Series should not end on Mondays.
