The Orioles’ brutal April schedule briefly subsided with three games against the sub- .500 Tigers (though the O’s made them look pretty good), but the club faces another tough opponent this weekend. Cleveland currently sits at 9-7 and is trying to win its third straight American League Central title. After getting off to a sluggish start, they have won six of their last eight games and just split a two games series with Minnesota.
Things haven’t looked good for the Birds lately. After being swept in Detroit, the club hasn’t won a game since last Wednesday and is currently sitting at 5-14.
