After a weekend sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Indians, the Orioles are headed out of the picture, and fast. With 19 games still to play, the Orioles now have a 4.3% chance of making the postseason, according to Fangraphs. They aren’t mathematically eliminated yet, but right now it’s like they’re skydiving and their parachute hasn’t come out. There’s time to spare, just not very much of it.
Although they only have a deficit of three games to make up against the Twins, thanks to the Twins losing to the Royals on Saturday and Sunday, the Orioles now find themselves with four teams to pass in order to claim the second wild card spot.
