For anyone who is superstitious about such things, there’s a lot lining up pointing towards strange occurrences as the Orioles play the Tigers tonight. It is Friday the 13th and there is a full moon, after all, and these are two very, very bad baseball teams, so anything is possible. They might even surprise us and play something resembling competent baseball.
According to STATS, baseball has not seen a matchup between two teams who are more than 50 games below .500 since an August 29, 1969 game between the Expos and Padres.
