Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore Orioles are aiming for another 100-win season and division title, but have faced some challenges in close games recently. Despite missing key players like Felix Bautista, their bullpen ranks highly in various statistics. Starter Corbin Burnes has shown promise, leading the team to two wins with strong performances. The offense has been somewhat inconsistent, with a low walk percentage and OBP, but has shown potential in other areas like slugging percentage and stolen base success. Ranked 9th overall, the Orioles are 8th in offense and 6th in defense, with a 76-81 record. They will look to improve their scoring by generating more baserunners as they face Boston.
