The Orioles were expected to contend this year after winning 101 games in 2023 and 91 last year. Instead, they got off to a horrific start and were 21-36 at the end of May.
Since then, they’ve played better, going 29-23 in June and July, but they still stand last in the AL East at 50-59. That mark is actually slightly better than the Cubs’ 27-23 since June 1. And they come into this series having won six of their last eight.
