O's PLAYOFF TIX!! Greatest story ever!

[Goop]

First off, this is awesome that we are even talking about this. Second, this is awesome that we are even talking about this.

[SpringBarb]

I have a 13-game plan; looks like my seats would be closer in than my regular season ticket seat. Interesting! (Total cost is $295, including parking and shipping.) Can't wait to get the information in the mail!

Before today's game, according to Accuscore's Season Futures, the Orioles were given a 46.27% chance to make the playoffs and only 10.27% chance to win the division.

I've followed this closely over the course of the season. While it has never been so high, I still feel the odds makers are short-changing the O's. There's still no love there. 2 out of 3 in NY might push them up to 50% and maybe 15 to 20% chance to win the division. These odds makers are still favoring (prior to today) the Angels over the Orioles.

Thoughts?

It's not like there's some guy sitting in a room making these odds. It's done by numbers, and a negative run differential is going to hurt their chances, statistically speaking.

Granted. I understand that. And I'm really not arguing with the odds. But as noted on other threads, and in statistical analysis, the run differential almost doesn't matter at this point. In the last 27 games the Orioles have a plus-27 run differential against the cream of the crop (including, NY, TAM, DET and TEX).

So it may be time for the odds to start creeping in the O's favor. At this point how can you not like their chances?

Thanks for posting this... wish I read this a bit more carefully before paying for my Bronze 2 package. My first game is a game 3 of ALDS? Which would imply a Game 5 @ Home IF we win the division. Haha yikes

[Orioles0615]

So I assume tickets are not on sale yet to the general public. Also I assume since both wild card games will be on tbs one will be a day game and one will be a night game. Looks like I am taking off work that day no matter who plays. We better just win the division, it will be easier for the whole city

If this upcoming series is not indicative of a playoff atmosphere, the folks in this town - regardless of their reasons - have nothing to ever b**** about again. This is quite possibly the biggest in-season series OPACY has ever hosted. I will be there for at least two games. It will literally sicken me if the "Let's go Yankees" chants outweigh the O's chants. Or maybe that will be the sickness from the multiple sausages, Loose Cannons (best beer ever) and seeing Carne Cabeza shirtless. Either way, I will be sick.
