Welcome to the 2026 Pre-Season Contest! This is the 15th year that the current version of the contest has been in place. Back in 2011, the contest had 27 questions, including 15 \u201cWhich will be higher?\u201d that featured gems like, \u201cWhich will be higher – Brian Matusz\u2019s ERA or a gallon of gas at Royal Farm?\u201d and \u201cWhich will be higher – Yankees wins or Orioles losses?\u201d<\/p>\n
This year, the contest has 30 questions in the following categories: Which will be higher, Over\/Under, Yes\/No, Multiple Choice, and Who will be the first. Whenever the Orioles\u2019 season ends, whether it be at the end of the regular season, during the playoffs, or after they win the World Series, we\u2019ll post the results.<\/p>\n
For the first time ever, we are adding a bonus round! This round focuses on the MLB awards, which aren\u2019t resolved until after the World Series. We\u2019ll revisit those results when the votes are in.<\/p>\n
