  1. Whoever said “wouldn’t it be funny if the Orioles made the postseason” earlier this year made them too powerful.

  2. I wonder why play odds makers and projections are so over the place with the orioles. Fangraphs doesn’t even have them in double digits chances to make playoffs. Pecota has them at thirty and bref at fifty seems like all over the place.

    At least with mariners most places have them pretty high I think the lowest I saw was 82 and most are between 82-90.

    I think in general I find fangraphs to be one that usually is most different compared to most other places. Most places have dodgers as best chance to win ws while Mets are between second and fourth but fangraphs somehow has them and Mets tied for best chance.

  3. The only way this season isn’t a success for the orioles is if they lose out. What a great season for Baltimore.

  4. Imagine telling someone preseason that mid august the Orioles were going to have better playoff odds than the White Sox, Red Sox, and Rays.

  5. are BR odds based on past results of team’s with those records at this point or on projections of future performance?

  6. Brandon Hyde has to be Manager of the Year in the AL, right? He probably won’t be because — well — media voting, but it’s hard to imagine a manager doing more with less.

  7. Is nobody else gonna comment on the very real possibility that the AL Central could finish with every team under .500
