90 Wins, WC and then roll through the playoffs and edging out the Dodgers in a nail bitter 4 game to 3.

Manny is WS MVP, Sisco is ROY, Britton comes back to dominance and closer roll, Davis and Trumbo both improve on last year's production, Mancini improves on his rookie season.

90 Wins, get one of the two Wildcard playoff berths, and then roll through the playoffs and edge out the Dodgers in a nail-bitter, 4 game to 3.

Manny will be named the World Series MVP, Sisco will win the AL Rookie of the Year award, Zach Britton will come back to dominance in his roll as the, Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo will both improve on last their 2017 season production, and Trey Mancini will improve on his rookie season.

The Orioles are going to lose a very close World Series to the National League champions.

Your homerism/bias is showing.

As much as I would love this to happen, it's hard for me to envision the Sox having enough pitching problems to move them from division winners in 2017 to 3rd place and out of the play-offs in 2018. They'd need to get the 2017 David Price again plus pro-longed absences from Pomeranz and Rodriguez.

According to the author of this article (Sam Miller), the Orioles are in a sub-group with 2 other teams in terms of what their realistic expectations ought to be for the upcoming 2018 season ........ the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Tampa Bay D-Rays.

 

Miller asserts that the 2 out of 3 goals for these teams ought to be:

 

1) ) Sneak into the playoffs.

2) ) Best player has a massive season.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll OR

3) ) Lose fast enough to have a hugely profitable sell-off.

 

 

 

In the 3-team subgroup, the odds of the Blue Jays and the D-Rays as having better odds than that of the Orioles of winning the 2018 World Series:

 

TORONTO BLUE JAYS: lllll. 50-1

TAMPA BAY D-RAYS: lllllllll 75-1

BALTIMORE ORIOLES: lllllll 80-1

Those are MGM Sportsbook’s odds, not the author’s.
