The Orioles are going head-to-head with the AL East leaders for three games. The battle for the division is on!
OK, maybe not. The Tampa Bay Rays have already accumulated a 9.5-game lead over the cellar-dwelling Orioles, and I’m sorry to say that playoff contention doesn’t seem to be in the cards for the Birds. Still, the O’s can at least try to have some fun this weekend.
Last year, even amidst a historically bad season, the Orioles had some success against the Rays at Camden Yards, going 6-4. That included three straight wins July 27-29 in which the Orioles scored 11 or more runs each game.
