Hello, friends.
The new day dawns with the Orioles in third place in the American League East. Their 12-9 record leaves them three games behind the division-leading Yankees. The O’s sit in the #7 seed in the AL at the moment, since they’ve got the best record outside of the division leaders (seeds 1-3) and runners-up (seeds 4-6), which would qualify them for a best-of-three against the Yankees.
There’s a long way to get there. The O’s have 39 games left to play and with all the uncertainty in the world it’s no guarantee the season will even finish.
