Hello, friends.
The Orioles quest to avoid being 60 games back in the American League East has achieved a temporary positive following on the heels of Wednesday’s 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. In addition, the Red Sox were beaten by the Yankees, and so the teams are separated by a mere 59 games in the standings. It is a good bet that the Red Sox will win more than the Orioles the rest of the way.
Wednesday’s win also guarantees that the Orioles will not finish with a worse record than the 2003 Tigers, so the recent O’s victories have officially kept them out of the record books for being the worst that either MLB overall or just the AL has ever seen.
