The Angels were one Matthew Boyd away from an easy sweep in Detroit, and Baltimore does not have their own Boyd. In fact, Orioles pitchers have been incredibly disastrous this year, but one stat that tells the tale on its own is homers allowed. The Orioles pitching corps has allowed 80 homers this year, in number one by a lot, and almost certainly on pace to break the all-time record for homers allowed in a season. For comparison, the Angels are fifth with 55 allowed, and the Reds are last with 31 allowed.
In fact, so dismal is the Orioles pitching staff that it might be a blessing to get Trevor Cahill and Matt Harvey out of the way in this series.
