After the past two seasons in which the Orioles lost 115 and 108 games, with the team’s offseason moves only acting to make the MLB squad worse in the short term, no one expected anything good from the O’s in 2020. When we thought it would be the usual 162 games, the O’s were projected for a poor record. Once it settled for 60 games, the jokes came out about the O’s possibly not winning even ten games.
We know now that it’s not very likely that the Orioles will shock everyone by slipping into the expanded 2020 postseason field.
