We are down to the final 10 games of the Orioles’ 2022 season, and boy do we need some magic to happen in the next week and a half of baseball.
As a reminder, the Orioles are (technically) within striking distance of all three AL wild card teams: 6.5 back of the Blue Jays, 4.5 back of the Rays, and 4.0 back of the Mariners. However, when factoring in that they have already lost the season series to both the Rays and Mariners, things do get a bit trickier.
The bottom line is the Orioles likely need to play flawless baseball from here on out to even have a sniff of a playoff spot.
