The scheduling gods have chosen to give the Phillies three games against the worst team in baseball this week. But as we all remember, the Phillies had a three-game series against the second worst team in baseball last month, and they managed to lose all three. So even though the Orioles are putrid, it certainly isn’t a lock that they come away with three - or any - wins in this series.
Record: 47-102 (Fifth place in American League East)
The manager
This is Brandon Hyde’s third year as manager, and considering that it’s his second season with over 100 losses, there’s a decent chance it will be his last.
