Winners of nine of their last 11 games, the Orioles are rolling right now. The offense is firing on all cylinders: the Orioles’ 116 WRC+ is fourth best of all teams. The pitching, once a liability, has made a sharp turnaround with a shiny 1.20 ERA in the last seven days. Before last week, the starters had pitched to an unsightly 5.79 ERA; after 29 2/3 scoreless innings this week, it’s 3.21, behind only AL leaders Tampa Bay, Texas and New York.
Can Grayson Rodriguez grab the baton from his rotation teammates and keep up this streak of dominance?
