    You all will laugh hard when you see this.

    Espn.com Standings.

    Orioles and Rays in first place 3-0. Take a look at the playoff column, each teams chance of making the playoffs.

    Orioles 3-0 with a 16.7% chance to make the playoffs
    Yankees 0-3 with a 56.3% chance to make the playoffs.
    All AL east teams with a higher percentage than us right now, haha.

    16.7% is being generous.

    Yeah, I am as big of a sunshine warrior Oriole fan as there is, and even I have to concede that at this point, we really shouldn't be given more than a 10% chance at best.

    Can't complain about the team, though. You can only win the games one at a time, and against the team that is on your schedule ...... and that's what they have done so far.

    It could be Sept. 1, and our record could be 75-60 and they would still say it's a 16.7 % chance.

    It wasn't one game. The Yankees, Red Sox and Blue Jays all lost.

    Yes the other teams also playing lost one game as well, which explains why it is now up to 17% since the OP.

    If this team is still in first by September, then we'll talk. 3 wins at the beginning of the year has absolutely no relevance to their chances of making the playoffs.

    I agree with this, but not according to the website ESPN uses for its (POFF) playoff chances column.

    That website was updated around 6:30 today, ESPN has since updated their standings to reflect the changes.
