It boils down to pitching for me. Our starting pitching is the worst so we're probably the odds on favorite to be the worst. Cincy doesn't even belong in this discussion anymore. It's a four team fight. 

By four team I mean Detroit, Miami, and Baltimore. I think Seattle will surprise a bit and KC will at least slug their way to a few more victories, despite a terrible starting rotation.

The Reds on paper are way better then the Orioles. Reds could even make the playoffs. I see the Orioles from third worst to worst this year. Injuries will of course play a factor.

What many of Cincinatti's moves have been puzzling to me personally, they are a legitimate team with a serious shot at a wide open NL Central. Despite Colorado's struggles last year, they still have p

Other than Means I think the Pirates have 4 starters better than anyone the Orioles throw out there.

Musgrove is very good, peripherals back a better season.  Archer should rebound. Keller is a top 10 MLB pitching prospect.  Trevor Williams should normalize somewhere between the last two seasons.

Their line up should have five .800 OPS guys (Reynolds, Bell, Newman, Frazier, Osuna)

I doubt they are worse than the Orioles.

You make some good points. Will be hard to be worse. I do think if Archer is pitching well they will deal him. Good division but no powerhouses.

Other than Bell not much power. Big year for Keller.

      O’s look done

      You just can’t win with an offense this bad. It was an overreaction a month ago when they were getting called embarrassing or pathetic after a bad game. It legitimately might be an understatement at this point.  They have scored 4 runs or less in 19 out of their last 24 games (and 11 of their last 12 games) against teams that aren’t the Rockies or the White Sox. In those 19 games, they have scored 44 total runs (2.32 per game). In two of those games, they scored exactly 5 runs. In another, they scored 10 runs and lost. In another, they had 2 runs going into the 8th. Again, anyone complaining about this offense is underselling it at this point. In total, they have 80 runs in those 24 games (3.33 per game). In their last 8 games overall (including the White Sox), they have scored 15 runs. This offense is completely broken.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      This team does not hit the fastball well, that's not good.

      Plenty of teams limp into the playoffs and then make a deep run. This team has enough talent to do it, I just want to see Mayo and Kjerstad finally given a shot to play every day (put Kjerstad in RF, Santander at 1B, Mayo the full time DH), and move away from struggling/low ceiling vets like O'Hearn, Eloy, Rivera, and Slater.  Mayo and Kjerstad playing regularly and Westburg making it back for the playoffs could transform the lineup. I think Hyde is a terrible manager who can't write out a good lineup to save his life, but this offense has been so bad for so long that I think even he's capable of making those changes.  If Webb, Coloumbe, and Grayson can all make it back healthy, they'll also make a difference.

      How am I scapegoating him? He hasn't played well for a very long time. I'm just saying give Mayo a legit shot.

      Am looking forward to the season being over.  Yankees are taking full advantage of the O’s ineptitude - as they should.   Team is so inept offensively and does not seem fixable.  Bad combo of too many players still trying to figure things out. Have no idea what to expect over the next 2 weeks,  but currently they are unwatchable and an overall joyless bunch.   Need new dugout leadership that can help this team unlock its potential,  Hyde is no longer the answer and I think he knows it.
