The only thing you really need to know about this weekend’s series between the Athletics and the Orioles is that the Orioles really need to win most, if not all, of these games. To come off of a 4-2 road trip against the Astros and Guardians just to lose to the A’s would be the absolute worst.
In the midst of this tough schedule, with the Orioles fighting to get back into wild card position, the hope is that the A’s will offer some relief. They currently sit in last place in the AL West, having already racked up 82 losses.
