The Orioles have fallen into third place in the AL East. Unless they can catch back up, they’re going to have to hold a wild card spot. What does the competition look like?
For a whole lot of the 2016 season, the Orioles have been atop the American League East. For much of the time they were out of first place, they were in second, within just a game. They now find themselves only two games out but trailing both the Blue Jays and the Red Sox.
The good news is that two games isn’t very far out, and even if the O’s aren’t able to bridge that gap, they still find themselves in a wild card spot.
