The final month of this season has frequently not been a fun one for the Orioles and their fans, with the team hitting a major pothole in the form of a struggling offense. The O’s scoring 24 runs in a 12-game span should haunt everyone in Birdland as things head towards the end. Despite this, the Orioles enter this weekend’s series against the Tigers with the possibility of clinching a spot in the postseason and potentially even clinching the home field position for the wild card round.
As things stand right now, the Tigers, who the Orioles are playing this weekend, are the team whose losses shrink the magic number.
