The Orioles have played 127 games of their 2018 season and have lost more than 70% of those games. No matter how absurd it sounds, it is reality. Those same Orioles have played the Yankees 12 times and have won six of those games. In the cold and hopeless dark of this season, their performance against New York can still bring most O’s fans some joy.
It’s bad luck indeed for the Yankees that they have 79 wins and are still 9.5 games out of first place because the Red Sox have managed to win 90 already.
