The Royals welcome in the Baltimore Orioles to try and avenge their embarrassing series loss in Baltimore earlier this month. The Orioles brutally bad pitching staff managed to keep the Royals in check in Baltimore, which looked bad for the Royals, but since and including that series, the Orioles have allowed three runs or fewer in five of their last nine, which seems like a very small victory, but they’ve definitely had their moments against the Rays and Nationals as a staff. They still aren’t any good, but neither are the Royals and what once seemed like an impossibility could be a reality as this is a series that could help determine some draft position with the two teams hanging around each other in the overall standings.
