After an absolutely brutal stretch, the Orioles bounced back and played some quality baseball against the Royals. Now that another winning ball club is coming to town, how will Baltimore fare?
The Rays will arrive in Baltimore sitting in a decent position in the AL wild card race. There appears to be only three legitimate contenders for the two wild card spots, with the loser of the AL Central (Twins/Indians) battling out the Athletics and Tampa Bay.
One thing that playoff contenders cannot do is squander winning opportunities against last place clubs.
