The Astros head to Baltimore to face one of the worst teams in the sport, a distinction that the Orioles have held for several years now. Already in the midst of yet another lost season, Baltimore is 19.5 games back from the first place Red Sox, which might as well be a million with how poorly the O’s have played.
There are some feel-good stories in Charm City though. Trey Mancini’s return from battling cancer in recent seasons is one, especially since he’s been hitting quite well this year. Also, Cedric Mullins has come out of nowhere to become one of the best players in baseball.
