Do spring training results correlate to regular season outcomes? Sometimes

The Orioles head into Thursday's exhibition game against the New York Yankees still looking for their first Grapefruit League victory, which may or may not be something that we'll all look back on at the end of the 2016 season.

The correlation between spring training results and regular-season records is sketchy at best. For some teams, a winning exhibition record is a contraindicator. For the Orioles, historically, it's not much of an indicator at all.

Through 62 seasons, the Orioles have had 27 losing regular-season records and in 15 of those years they also had losing spring records.
