The Orioles enter the third game of this series against the Rangers with two wins already in the bank. They’ve won it already. That’s fun. It’s good any time that you can go on the road and win a series. The Rangers may not be as good as they were last year, and may in fact be heading towards being trade deadline sellers. Getting swept by the Orioles would leave them at seven games below .500 with nine days to go until the deadline and would seem to settle it for them.
It’s not the end of the world if the Orioles don’t get the sweep.
