50 games left - call the record

[Uli2001]

With 50 games left, a round number, it's easier to calculate winning percentages and final records. We will assume that 162 games will be played.

If the Orioles keep their current .304 winning percentage, they will win 15 out of the last 50 games and finish 49-113 (for the worst all-time Orioles record).

In order to avoid matching or surpassing the Orioles all-time worst record of 107 losses, they have to go at least 22-28 for a .444 winning percentage, way above any 50-game stretch this year.

In order to avoid the first 100-loss season since 1988, the Orioles need to go at least 29-21 for a .580 winning percentage.

They are 4 losses away from clinching a losing season, so it would still be possible to finish at .500 or over, by simply winning 47 of the last 50 games.

I’m on vacation so I’m feeling optimistic this morning.... 53-109 and we avoid losing 110.

25-25 to close the year. It's amazing how awful this has been.

49-113 sounds good... just hope it's enough to hold off KC

To make things clearer, you are predicting a 59-103 record.

It would take that kind of effort over the last 50 to avoid being the worst Oriole team ever.

[Uli2001]

For the record (!), I am prediciting that they will be slightly better than the current pace, .350 over the last 50, which means 17 more wins and a 51-111 record.

Let's just hope it's the worst. The only thing worse than losing is to lose at losing.

They have 3 games against the Royals and 2 games with the Mets left so I think if they can lose those games they should be in like flint.
