Saturday Bird Droppings: The Orioles are making a last ditch effort at a playoff run

Good morning, Birdland!

They’re going to toy with my emotions, aren’t they? The Orioles won again last night, a 6-0 victory over the Houston Astros. It’s their third straight win, and thanks to another loss by the Seattle Mariners, the O’s are now just three games back of the final AL Wild Card spot.

A tall task remains, and since the Mariners already took the season series from the Orioles it actually needs to be treated more like a four-game gap. With only 12 games remaining on the schedule the odds are long.
