The Orioles’ recent run has been fun. A pair of series sweeps and a solid road trip have improved the vibes around the team and given fans a chance to dream a little bit. Getting back into playoff contention after their disastrous start would defy the odds in a historical way, but it’s not impossible, and it’s worth chasing until at least the trade deadline.
That said, a lot things would need to go right for the Orioles in order to make that happen. And now that the pitching staff has sorted itself out a little bit, all eyes turn towards what should have been the team’s strength all along: the offense.
